Trump And Vance Argue Biden Can't Serve Out His Term

"If Joe Biden can’t run for president, he can’t serve as president," JD Vance insisted.
Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), argued in an upcoming Fox News interview that Democrats’ push for President Joe Biden to leave the race constituted a “coup” and that he legally can’t finish out his term.
In the clip from the interview, which was filmed the day before Biden dropped out and will air in full Monday night, host Jesse Watters asked the two men leading the GOP ticket if Democrats were staging a “coup against Joe Biden” to get him out of the race.
“Sort of,” Trump responded.
“Yeah, I think it is,” Vance followed up before making the argument that the Constitution precludes Biden from finishing out his term.
“If Joe Biden can’t run for president, he can’t serve as president,” Vance insisted. “And if they want to take him down because he’s mentally incapable of serving, invoke the 25th Amendment. You don’t get to sort of do this in the most politically beneficial way for Democrats. If it’s an actual problem, they should take care of it the appropriate way.”
