They demand his resignation, dismissal and even that the 25th Amendment be invoked to end his presidency.

But by demanding removal and resignation, Republicans are trying to demonstrate to their base how they would provide control over Biden’s presidency if voters handed them the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections.
In fact, many first-rate Republicans see Biden’s disorderly, chaotic, and deadly manipulation of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan as a major military and political disaster that will propel the Republican Party to power on Capitol Hill.
Republicans only need to launch a five-seat network to reclaim the House; they only have to do one to take the Senate.

Hill. “But now the Senate is also at stake, as voters demand control of Biden’s dangerous and reckless administration.”
There are other signs that Republicans view harsh, sometimes excessive, rhetoric as good politics, especially at a time of growing partisan polarization, when there are fewer incentives for them to be voices of moderation.

Biden “should resign immediately. His press conference should have been four words: “I resign immediately,” Long told The Hill.

They are completely blaming Biden’s feet, but have opted for a more moderate message of how Republicans would give control of their presidency if they controlled Congress.
McCarthy is pressuring Pelosi to return to the House for more classified briefings and vote on legislation that would delay the August 31 self-imposed deadline for withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan until all the North. Americans who want to leave are evacuated.

However, it would allow an exception if the Secretary of Defense determines that US forces are facing “imminent hostilities.”
Biden insists on Tuesday’s deadline, an extension of the original May 1 date the Trump administration negotiated with the Taliban last year, in part out of concern that the security situation would deteriorate further. and put more Americans at risk.
Still, McCarthy, always aware of not wanting to alienate the right wing of his party in his ambitions for the Orador handkerchief, did not close the Republican Party’s requests for Biden’s resignation or dismissal.
“There will be a day of reckoning,” McCarthy told reporters Friday at the Capitol.
“Right now, in the next five days, everyone’s responsibility should only be focused on getting Americans,” McCarthy continued, referring to Tuesday’s deadline. “When that day passes, you can take anything to hold you accountable for the actions that have been taken, the lies that have been given, the bad decisions that have endangered Americans, and the decision. to leave the Americans behind. “
By contrast, McConnell quickly dismissed Greene’s push to oust Biden.
“No,” McConnell told a Kentucky television station when asked if he supported Greene’s dismissal calls. “I don’t usually react to that kind of comment from House members.”
While many Democrats have criticized the way Biden handles Afghanistan’s evacuations, they still maintain their decision to withdraw U.S. troops from the country after 20 years of war.
A Pelosi spokesman rejected McCarthy’s request to return the House of Recession as counterproductive, arguing that the proposal to prevent the new withdrawal of U.S. troops “would tie the commander in the hands of the chief in the midst of the most dangerous days of the operation ”.
Still, some Democrats are trying to distance themselves from the chaotic evacuation effort. Rep. Susan Wild

“It is clear that the US military presence in Afghanistan has long since ended and that we cannot continue to endanger the US military for an unprofitable war. At the same time, it appears that the evacuation process has been mishandled, “Wild said in a statement.
But Democrats continue to totally reject calls for the right to expel Biden.
