Piers Morgan calls Biden 'bafflement' in office, urges POTUS to resign during Oval Office address

WASHINGTON, DC: Fox Nation host Piers Morgan urged President Joe Biden to step down from office in his upcoming Oval Office address, calling it a "bafflement" that he is still in office after giving up the 2024 election. 

During his discussion of why he believes Biden should resign on 'Fox & Friends', the host of 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' explained that Biden's resignation would be best for the American people given the mounting concerns about the president's cognitive abilities.

Piers Morgan asks 'Who's running the country?'

"Who's running the country? Who's commander-in-chief? Who's got their finger on the nuclear button? Personally, and not to be disrespectful, given the state of Joe Biden right now, I wouldn't trust him to open my bag of chips, let alone press a nuclear button if that had to happen," Piers Morgan told Ainsley Earhardt on Wednesday, July 24. "So I think there's a kind of bafflement that Joe Biden has not actually resigned the presidency."

Joe Biden is expected to deliver remarks from the Oval Office

Joe Biden is anticipated to make statements from the Oval Office regarding his choice to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race and his strategies for completing his term on Wednesday night.

He said it was in the "best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term," when he announced the decision to end his reelection campaign in a letter he posted on X on Sunday, reported Fox News.

Piers Morgan says Joe Biden 'would resign the presidency' for the good of America

"The right thing, if he really believes, as he says, in America, and what's good for the country and everything else, then he would resign the presidency," Morgan said. "It is completely farcical that he's continuing to stumble on as the leader of the free world, the commander-in-chief of the United States. Nobody thinks he's that person."

"Everybody thinks that he's quit because he's simply not cognitively up to the job anymore. He knows that. So I don't think he's going to do what I suggest, but I think it would be the right thing to do," he continued. 

Piers Morgan argues Joe Biden's refusal to resign has political implications

According to Piers Morgan, Joe Biden's refusal to step down after his presidential campaign ended has political ramifications for America's enemies, making the country appear "weak" in the eyes of the international community.

"I think they're probably thinking, what a moment for America. Look how weak it all looks," Morgan said. "You've got this guy stumbling on as president. And I think it's going to be very bad for him and for Kamala Harris because she's going to be out there trying to present herself as the vision for the future for the Democrat Party."

"But at the same time, every time Joe Biden makes any kind of speech and makes another one of his big gaffes or mistakes, or he falls over, whatever, he remains the president of United States and the leader of the Democrat Party. So I think on every level, none of this really works," Morgan continued. 

Joe Biden was seen in public for the first time in 6 days

The US president returned to the nation's capital from his residence in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Tuesday, and was seen in public for the first time in six days at Dover Air Force Base. He answered one question from reporters, saying he is "feeling well" after testing negative for Covid-19.

Since last week, Biden has not made any public appearances. His lone public statement regarding his unexpected decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race was made on Monday during a brief phone conversation with Harris's campaign headquarters.

Harris is currently the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.

Critics have claimed that Biden will not be able to finish out his term if he is unable to run for a second term in the midst of the swiftly changing political landscape. Morgan accused the mainstream media of lying to the American people about his cognitive abilities and shielding him.

"There was a complete conspiracy of delusion and deceit by the mainstream media in America to delude the American people about the reality of Joe Biden," he argued. 

Internet backs Piers Morgan after he calls out Joe Biden 

Netizens sided with the TV personality after he lambasted the US president for leaving the country in such a critical stage before the presidential election in November this year.

One X user tweeted, "We don’t need Harris!" Another wrote, "Many knew the fragility of Biden and all of them covered it up; especially, Harris. This administration is fractured!" 

"It's a legitimate question, who is running the country?" echoed one user while someone else remarked, "OLD! HE WAS TOO OLD! NO ONE OVER 70 should run for office - NO ONE! that's TOO OLD!! Biden is 81 and barely made it. NEVER ELECT a 77 YEAR OLD EVER AGAIN!! OLD IS OLD!! Dementia, senile - who cares they are OLD!!"
