(IntegrityPress.org) – Trump campaign representatives Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita issued a scathing statement demanding President Joe Biden step down from office after he announced his departure from the race for president on Sunday, July 21. Trump’s proxies called Biden a “security risk” and highlighted Biden’s apparent “great cognitive decline” as a potential problem for the safety and security of hundreds of millions of Americans he’s supposed to protect.
The statement asked Vice President Kamala Harris, the now-presumptive nominee, if she believes the country is safe, given that Biden can be replaced by the winner of November’s general election in six more months.
Biden had been heavily pressured to step down following a disastrous debate performance against Trump in late June. Most recently, wealthy donors began to freeze their contributions until Biden stepped down or was replaced.
Then, the assassination attempt against Trump on July 13 triggered an outpouring of public support, with many highlighting Democratic rhetoric, which attempted to characterize Trump as an existential threat to the American republic as a contributing factor.
Biden then announced a positive test for a respiratory virus and went into hiding and hasn’t been seen in public since July 17. The sudden shift in policy prompted some commenters online to engage in open speculation that Biden had already died.
Trump’s representatives highlighted that Harris is just as culpable for the administration’s foibles as Biden was, slamming her for the impact of inflation and the southern border crisis on Americans. They pointed out that Harris did nothing to mitigate the problems and continued to pretend everything was great, just like her boss.
The statement also highlighted Harris’ record as a public official in California.
Trump’s team clearly had been expecting this potential for some time and announced a new advertisement in swing states specifically targeting her as Joe Biden’s heir.
