Florida Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Fox News Digital that if President Biden drops out of the presidential race and is replaced before the Democratic National Convention, the new nominee would likely have little impact on former President Donald Trump's chances of reclaiming the White House in November.
“I definitely think we're going to see [Democrats] Try to get him out and we'll see who you replace him with. I think it's important for Republicans to understand the timing of this. We have the momentum right now this week at our convention, but this race is not over. [until] “November,” Greene said from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
“There could be a complete change if they replace Joe Biden with a new candidate. But we have the right policies. We have the right plans for Republicans.” [to] win,” he added.
During this week’s Republican National Convention, Democrats have increasingly called on Biden to drop out of the race, with California Rep. Adam Schiff joining the chorus of traditional allies calling on the president to cede the mantle ahead of the race against former President Trump.

“While the decision to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden's alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch,” Schiff said.

Greene continued in her comment to Fox Digital that if Biden were to drop out and be replaced by another Democrat, it would likely not affect Trump's race, arguing that the Biden administration's record taints whoever joins the race.
“No matter who they put at the front of the ticket, that candidate has to compete with the jobs record that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have brought over the last several years because Democrats are completely aligned behind those policies,” Greene said.

“I think America really came to terms and stood in solidarity with President Trump and the Republican Party after seeing him almost assassinated on Saturday. It's a moment that everyone will always remember, similar to 9/11. Everyone remembers where they were when that happened. I also think people are really fed up with the border invasion that's happening every day. The fact that people can't afford food, can't afford rent, and inflation is crippling a lot of people,” he said.

Biden has so far ignored calls to drop out, but reports are increasingly circulating that he is considering withdrawing from the 2024 campaign.
“Our campaign is not working on any scenario where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket. He is and will be the Democratic nominee,” Biden's senior deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks told reporters at a Thursday morning news conference near the site of the Republican National Convention.
