Trump and JD Vance accuse Dems of leading 'coup' against Biden, call to 'invoke the 25th Amendment' | 22 July 2024 | Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, slammed the Democratic Party for leading a "coup" against President [sic] Biden -- with the Ohio senator saying that if Biden isn't fit to run for president, he shouldn't be able to serve the rest of his term. The GOP ticket commented on Biden's seemingly declining condition and the news that he would not be running for re-election in a clip that aired Monday morning on Fox News, telling Primetime host Jesse Watters that Biden shouldn't get to step down in a way that is only beneficial to his party. When asked if Biden's dropping out of the election was a "coup against Joe Biden," Trump quietly replied with "Sort of," before Vance jumped in. "Yeah, I think it is. I mean, look, there's a constitutional process, the 25th Amendment. If Joe Biden can't run for president, he can't serve as president," Vance replied.
