Karine Jean-Pierre Fires Back at J.D. Vance’s ‘Ridiculous’ Call for Biden to Resign
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appeared on The View Tuesday to share her thoughts about President Joe Biden ending his re-election campaign, and during the show’s segment, in which she was joined by Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and the rest, Jean-Pierre made sure to to slam J.D. Vance’s comments that Biden should resign from office as “ridiculous.”
Vance recently took to Twitter/X to call for Biden to step down altogether after he announced that he won’t be seeking a second term after all. “Everyone calling on Joe Biden to *stop running* without also calling on him to resign the presidency is engaged in an absurd level of cynicism,” Vance wrote on X. He added, “If you can’t run, you can’t serve. He should resign now.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Jean-Pierre her thoughts on Vance’s comments. “I think that’s ridiculous, seriously,” she said. “What I will say is the president decided to not run for re-election, that’s it, that’s all he decided on. He wants to continue to do the work—three and half years of unprecedented, historic work—and I think that shows what he’s capable of doing.”
