Multiple member's of President Biden's Cabinet doubled down on their support for him amid calls for him to resign or be removed from office.
Members of President Biden's Cabinet are doubling down on their support for the president amid calls for them to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office.
The shoring up of their support comes as Biden continues to face pressure over his health as well as his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, which prompted mounting concern from lawmakers questioning his ability to serve the remainder of his term if he is unable to seek re-election.
"Secretary Yellen disagrees with those calls," a spokesperson for Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Fox News Digital on Tuesday, while also pointing to recent comments she made during a House hearing in which she refused to comment in detail on her private meetings with Biden.
"The president is extremely effective in the meetings that I've been in with him. That includes many international meetings that are multihour," Yellen said at the time.
Representatives for Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm also said their bosses did not agree with the calls for Biden to step down or be removed from office.
Granholm's spokesperson pointed Fox to comments the secretary made last month pushing back on a report that Biden was mentally "slipping."
"The president is utterly on his game," Granholm told Fox at the time. "He is the wisest, most knowledgeable person in the room. He asks the toughest questions and has the keenest insights on the complex questions brought to him. He is sharp, thoughtful and wise."
A spokesperson for Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack pointed Fox to comments the secretary made this month defending Biden's ability to perform the job of president.
"You're d--n right he's capable," Vilsack told Agri-Pulse, an agriculture-focused news site.
Fox News Digital reached out to multiple other members of Biden's Cabinet but did not receive responses.
Biden announced on Sunday that he would suspend his re-election campaign and would instead endorse Vice President Harris for the Democrat nomination after facing weeks of pressure from within his own party to drop out of the race.
The pressure mounted after his poor performance at the first presidential debate in June, where he was seen speaking with a raspy voice and jumbling up his words.
Harris' office said Tuesday morning that she believes Biden is currently capable of serving as president.
"As the vice president has said many times before, the nation is lucky to have President Biden leading our nation," Ernesto Apreza, press secretary to the vice president, told Fox.
