(VitalNews.org) – Citing concerns about Joe Biden’s competence to lead the nation, renowned pollster Nate Silver has ignited a huge controversy within the left by demanding he resign immediately.
Known for his statistical analysis and political forecasting, Silver took to social media to express doubts that Biden was capable of serving out the remainder of his term.
The pollster’s remarks have sent shockwaves through Washington and beyond, allowing conservatives and critics of the Biden administration to exploit this high-profile criticism.
“Is there any particular reason to assume Biden is competent to be president right now? It’s a very difficult job. It’s a dangerous world. Extremely high-stakes decisions in Ukraine. He should resign and let Harris serve out the last 2 months,” Silver bluntly stated.
Silver’s comments come amid growing concerns that Biden is increasingly reluctant to engage with the press and has limited his public appearances to a minimum.
Recent reports highlighted Biden’s tendency to avoid reporters, particularly during international trips to Brazil and Peru.

The pollster’s call for Biden’s resignation has reignited discussions about the Democrat’s age and mental fitness issues that have plagued his administration since the 2020 campaign.
Critics argue that Biden’s cognitive decline is becoming increasingly evident, putting the nation at risk during a time of global instability.
Silver’s suggestion that Kamala Harris should take over the presidency for the remainder of Biden’s term has only added fuel to the fire.
Some have seized on Silver’s remarks, framing them as an opportunity for Harris to make history as the first female president.
However, others question her readiness for the role given her struggles with key assignments such as the border crisis and voting rights issues.
“[Biden] gave her tough assignments—the border, perhaps Democrats’ worst issue, and voting rights, an issue on which the White House probably knew it wouldn’t make any progress,” Silver noted.
As the debate rages on, Silver’s comments have clearly struck a chord with many Americans who have long had doubts about Biden’s fitness for office.
With crucial decisions looming on the horizon, like the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the question of Biden’s competence has never been more critical.
