NEW: Top Pollster Calls On Biden To Resign Immediately
Nate Silver, one of the most-viewed election analysts in the country, is now questioning President Biden’s competency and has called on him to resign immediately.
Silver — who previously called on Biden to drop out of the presidential race this past summer — was commenting on a recent Washington Post article about Biden’s demeanor at the G-20 summit in Brazil. Biden appeared determined to avoid the press and gave scripted answers when he did speak, even after he made the massive decision to authorize the Ukrainian Military to conduct long-range missile strikes inside Russian territory.

“President Joe Biden was in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, unprotected from mosquitoes, fire ants and loud, squawking macaws. But there was another pest he did manage to avoid: the pack of reporters traveling with him,” the Post reported. “During a six-day foreign trip to Peru and Brazil that wrapped up Monday, the president rarely spoke in public, answering almost no questions despite repeated efforts to engage him. One television producer took to writing messages on a large pad of paper, holding it up as Biden boarded and departed Air Force One.”
“Will you talk to us, sir? Will you please talk to us?””
President Joe Biden did not respond to reporters desperately trying to question him as he left the G-20 meeting in Brazil to board Air Force One.

In an X post Wednesday, Silver suggested that the report is another indicator of President Biden’s declining mental capacity, something conservatives were labeled as “conspiracy theorists” for raising concerns about just a few months ago.
“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 wrote.
Silver previously called for President Biden to resign after his disastrous debate performance back in June, which is widely viewed as the end of his candidacy. The president spoke with a raspy voice as he frequently stared into space and delivered rambling, nonsensical answers.
At one point, Biden proudly declared that his administration “defeated Medicare.”
“I wimped out in today’s column and deleted a line saying he should formulate a plan to transition the presidency to Harris within 30-60 days, but I’m there now,” Silver said at the time. “Something is clearly wrong here.”
“The most generous way to put it is that he doesn’t seem in command, and that’s an extremely hard sell when you’re Commander in Chief,” Silver continued, adding that Biden would likely face increasing pressure to not only drop out of the race, which he of course did, but resign outright.
