ChainCatcher news, after Biden announced his withdrawal, House Republican Speaker Johnson called on Biden to "resign immediately." Johnson stated in a statement, "If Biden is not fit to run for president, he is not fit to serve as president. He must resign from the presidency immediately." Johnson noted that over 14 million Americans chose Biden as the Democratic presidential candidate, but this self-proclaimed "Democratic" party declared their ballots invalid. As Speaker of the House, Johnson is second in the presidential line of succession, just behind Harris.

When asked about some congressional Republicans calling for Biden to resign, the White House stated that Biden "looks forward to completing his term." Senate Republican Leader McConnell similarly criticized the Democrats in a statement for "trying to undermine the will of the American people expressed in the national primaries," but did not call for Biden to resign from the presidency.
