On Thursday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) proposed that President Joe Biden should step down from the presidency if he decides not to run for re-election in 2024.

Rubio questioned Biden’s capability to continue as president if he’s unfit to run for re-election. He stated, “If there’s something wrong with you that doesn’t allow you to run for president, how can you still be there as president? If they’re going to remove him as nominee, they've got to remove him as president, and that’s really bad for our country."

Furthermore, Biden’s position in the polls has been slipping. A Benzinga report from the same day shows that former President Donald Trump has been gaining ground in the polls since the first 2024 presidential debate.
