Romney uses Biden's own words against him, calls for president to join him in retirement: 'Time to transition'
Biden called himself a 'transition candidate' during his 2020 presidential campaign
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, used President Biden's
own words against him on Wednesday while calling on him to drop his
2024 bid for re-election and join him in retirement at the end of his
term.
Romney's challenge to Biden comes just hours after the first-term senator officially announced he would not be seeking a second term, citing his own advanced age as his main reason for the decision.
"President Biden, when he was running, said he was a transitional figure to the next generation. Well, time to transition," Romney said when asked by a reporter if his decision not to run for re-election because of his age should also apply to Biden, 80, and former President Donald Trump, 77.
Romney's comments were in reference to Biden calling himself a "transition candidate" during his 2020 campaign for the presidency, something he later meant he would be someone who would help pave the way for a new generation of Democratic leadership.
