Former President Trump's vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, recently shared his thoughts on some Democrats' demands for President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race. Vance expressed his concerns about Biden's cognitive abilities, suggesting that if the President lacks the mental acuity to campaign, he may not be fit to serve as the current president.

Vance's comments come in response to 30 Democratic lawmakers in Congress who have urged Biden to step aside. Despite these calls, none of the Democrats advocating for Biden to 'pass the torch' have explicitly called for his resignation before the end of his term.
