Several influential figures have been calling for Joe Biden to step down from his position as US president. Stephen King, who supported Biden during the last election, recently took to social media to make his case. “Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it’s time for him—in the interests of the America he so clearly loves—to announce he will not run for re-election,” he wrote in a Twitter post. Other celebrities like Cardi B and Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof have also expressed their dissatisfaction with Biden’s job performance.
Biden has faced intense criticism in recent weeks following a controversial debate with former President Donald Trump, where questions were raised regarding his fitness for office.
