An op-ed in the Washington Post is calling for President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to bow out of the 2024 race for 'the sake of the country.'

Columnist George F. Will pointed to a slew of Biden's gaffes and verbal blunders as reason enough for why 'Joe Biden should not seek another term.'

'Democrats should promptly face that fact, and this one: An Everest of evidence shows that Vice President Harris is starkly unqualified to be considered as his successor.'

The scathing op-ed piece comes just a day after Biden fumbled his words during a campaign stop in Florida where he confused the American war in Iraq and the Russian war in Ukraine - then flubbed again by saying son Beau died in the Iraq war when, in fact, he died in 2015 of brain cancer. 

President Joe Biden again said that his son Beau Biden died in Iraq, while catching himself calling the war in Ukraine the Iraq war, while delivering remarks in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday

The op-ed piece first addressed one of Biden's gaffes that Will believed slipped by unnoticed. 

Will wrote that Biden did not sign the $426 billion student loan forgiveness into law like the president had recently claimed. 

In August, Biden announced that he had decided to cancel up to $10,000 in student loan debt for people making less than $125,000 annually, or as much as $20,000 for individuals in the same income bracket who were also Pell Grant recipients.

However, a federal appeals court has temporarily blocked Biden’s plan, creating uncertainty for millions of borrowers. But for now, the website is live and accepting applications.

But in the op-ed piece on Wednesday, Will pushed home his point that the loan forgiveness was not something accomplished by 'a law' Biden had signed. 

'Biden was not merely again embellishing his achievements. This is not just another of his verbal fender benders,' he wrote. 'There is no less-than-dismaying explanation for his complete confusion. What vote? Who voted?'

He continued: 'After repeated unilateral extensions of the moratorium on loan repayments until election season, Biden unilaterally implemented the windfall for millions of voters. Congress was not involved in this cataract of money from the Treasury, in violation of the Constitution's appropriations clause.'

'It is frightening that Biden does not know, or remember, what he recently did regarding an immensely important policy,' he wrote. 'He must be presumed susceptible to future episodes of similar bewilderment. He should leave the public stage on Jan. 20, 2025.'

On Tuesday night, Biden again said that his son Beau Biden died in Iraq, while catching himself calling the war in Ukraine the Iraq war, while delivering remarks in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

'Inflation is a worldwide problem right now,' the president said. 'There's a war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia's doing. Excuse me, the war in Ukraine.'

'I'm thinking Iraq, because that's where my son died - because he died,' Biden then explained.

Beau Biden, who served as Delaware's attorney general and in the Delaware Army National Guard in the Iraq War, died at age 46 in 2015 from brain cancer at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

The president has long linked his service, and the military's use of burn pits, to Beau's brain cancer diagnosis.

'In my view, I can't prove it yet, he came back with stage 4 glioblastoma. Eighteen months he lived, knowing he was going to die,' Biden said in 2019.

Biden previously said that Beau died in Iraq while speaking at Camp Hale in Colorado last month.

'Just imagine - I mean it sincerely - I say this as a father of a man who won the Bronze Star, the Conspicuous Service Medal, and lost his life in Iraq. Imagine the courage, the daring, and the genuine
