Tillis Urges Cabinet To Invoke 25th Amendment After Biden's 'Painful' Debate Performance

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) urged President Biden's cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to potentially remove him from office after Thursday's debate. The debate performance, which included several halting answers, raised concerns on both sides of the aisle just months before Election Day.

According to The Hill, Tillis, a member of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) leadership team, wrote a letter to the Senate GOP conference emphasizing the need to discuss President Biden's ability to serve following Thursday's debate with former President Trump. In the letter, Tillis stated that the debate performance made this "discussion" about Biden's capacity to fulfill his duties "a necessity." He further added that if Biden does not voluntarily step aside, the cabinet should intervene and take matters into their own hands by invoking the 25th Amendment.
