A long list of house-of-representatives are calling for joe-biden” target=”_blank”>President Biden<
Reps. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., similarly issued strongly worded statements calling for accountability. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., said Biden was unfit to be commander in chief. “Joe Biden has blood on his hands. The buck stops with the President of the United States,” she said.
“Joe Biden must resign or face impeachment,” said Tenney.
Donalds tweeted: “[Biden] has abdicated his responsibility and duties entrusted to him as POTUS, and he must RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.”
U.S. Senate candidate Sean Parnell tweeted: “Joe Biden has lost the moral authority to lead our nation. Americans are now dead because of his incompetence. It didn’t have to be this way. He should resign as Commander in Chief.”
Congressional candidates Travis Wines of Michigan, Amanda Makki of Florida, and Lavern Spicer of Florida all called for resignation or impeachment. Makki also called to invoke the 25th Amendment, which lays out procedures for replacing the president.
“Afghanistan and the southern border are a coordinated 1-2 punch in the face of American safety,” tweeted Spicer. “We can’t take much more. Impeach Biden NOW before it’s too late!”
President Biden has met with his national security team and will continue to be briefed on updates throughout the day.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby tweeted on Thursday: “We can confirm that the explosion at the Abbey Gate was the result of a complex attack that resulted in a number of US & civilian casualties. We can also confirm at least one other explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, a short distance from Abbey Gate. We will continue to update.”

The Department of State, meanwhile, has told congressional staff to stop directing Americans to the airport.
“All staff engaging in this type of uncoordinated messaging to people on the ground must cease due to the security situation,” a State Department message read.
