President Biden may not meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday as planned, according to a report.

Axios journalist Barak Ravid reported on X that Netanyahu’s team is no longer expecting to meet with Biden Tuesday. An Israeli official told Ravid that Netanyahu, who is visiting Washington, D.C., this week, is still ‘waiting for an answer’ from the White House.

The development comes days after Biden announced that he was diagnosed with COVID-19. 

As of Monday afternoon, the president is still isolated in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, though he is said to be recovering.

In a letter released on Monday, Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, wrote that the president ‘completed his tenth dose of PAXLOVID this morning.’

‘His symptoms have almost resolved completely,’ the doctor wrote. ‘His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain absolutely normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air [sic]. His lungs remain clear.’

‘The President continues to perform all of his presidential duties,’ O’Connor added.

The meeting change also comes a day after Biden announced that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. He immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, with many other prominent Democrats joining him.

‘It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,’ Biden wrote in a public letter. ‘While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.’

Before departing Israel for D.C., Netanyahu told reporters that his country would stand by the U.S. ‘regardless [of] who the American people choose as their next president.’

‘In this time of war and uncertainty, it’s important that Israel’s enemies know that America and Israel stand together,’ Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu is scheduled to address Congress on Wednesday. He is also expected to meet with Harris.

Fox News Digital reached out to Netanyahu’s office and the White House for additional information.

Netanyahu also requested a meeting with former President Trump this week, according to Politico.

It is unclear if Trump agreed to the meeting.

Sen. Eric Schmitt is urging all members of the Cabinet, including Vice President Kamala Harris, to invoke the 25th Amendment against President Biden, Fox News Digital has learned. 

Schmitt sent letters to every member of Biden’s Cabinet Monday afternoon, just a day after the president suspended his re-election campaign amid pressure from within his own party about his age and fitness to serve another term. 

Biden, instead, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to serve as the 2024 Democratic nominee in his place. 

While he has dropped out of the race, the White House has maintained that the president will finish his first term, which concludes Jan. 20, 2025. 

But Republicans, including his GOP opponent, former President Trump, are questioning his ability to serve for the remainder of his term. 

Schmitt, on Monday, sent letters to the Cabinet, including Harris, urging them to invoke the 25th Amendment. While many have suggested the invocation of the 25th Amendment, Schmitt is the first to officially take action. 

‘Joe Biden has decided he isn’t capable of being a candidate; in so doing his admission also means he cannot serve as President,’ Schmitt told Fox News Digital. ‘Therefore, it is in the best immediate interest of the safety of the United States for Joe Biden to resign from office or face removal under the 25th Amendment.’ 

Schmitt said that under the Biden-Harris Administration, Americans have ‘fought to stay afloat financially, have seen America’s standing on the world stage diminished, and have been pushed aside in favor of illegal aliens flooding across our southern border.’ 

‘If Joe Biden is incapable of running for office, he is incapable of serving in office,’ Schmitt told Fox News Digital. ‘It is that simple.’ 

Fox News Digital obtained letters Schmitt sent to members of the Cabinet Monday evening. 

‘If President Biden is willing to admit he is unable to continue to stand as the Democratic Party nominee for President after the primary process due to his health, he is unable to continue to serve as President until January 20, 2025,’ Schmitt writes in the letters to members of the president’s Cabinet. 

‘As the Democrats scramble to find a new nominee, it is with a sober awareness of the gravity of my request that I ask that you, as a principal officer of the executive department, discharge your constitutional duty under the 25th Amendment, working with Vice President Harris and rest of the Cabinet to submit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration of the truth we now all see—President Biden is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,’ he continues. ‘If President Biden is unwilling to resign, for the sake of our great nation, you must do your duty to relieve him of his constitutional powers and duties.’ 

The U.S. Constitution’s 25th Amendment states that ‘whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.’ 

Schmitt wrote to members of the Cabinet that ‘while Vice President Harris may have deficiencies to effectively serve as the Acting President in any way that benefits the American people, she has not displayed a medical, incurable inability to discharge the powers and duties of the Presidency, unlike President Biden.’ 

Schmitt wrote that ‘the same Democrat elites that forced President Biden’s hand over the past several weeks did so long after the American people could see his inability to discharge his powers and duties.’ 

‘He should have never stood for reelection through the primaries. Rather than allow the voice of the people to speak through the democratic process of primary elections, the Democratic party insiders and megadonors will now have the opportunity to pick a new candidate in a crony-filled backroom of their convention,’ he wrote. ‘In 2024, the Democratic Party is anything but democratic.’ 

Schmitt urged the Cabinet secretaries to take action ‘for the sake of our nation.’ 

‘We cannot wait until January 20, 2025 for a mentally capable President,’ Schmitt wrote. ‘The stakes are too important given the domestic and foreign challenges the United States is currently facing.’ 

Schmitt said Americans ‘cannot afford a part-time President.’ 

‘I urge you to fulfill your constitutional duty and relieve President Biden of his constitutional powers and duties,’ he wrote. ‘If he is medically unable to be a candidate for Presidency (after he won the primary), then he is unable to unable to discharge the powers and duties of the Presidency today.’ 

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News digital’s request for comment.

Donald Trump’s pick for vice president, JD Vance, hit the campaign trail on Monday, less than 24 hours after President Biden announced he was dropping out of the race for a second term in office.

Vance began his day hosting a campaign rally in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, where he linked Vice President Kamala Harris to the ‘worst president in history,’ and said that he was just as shocked as most people were to hear the news that he was dropping out of the presidential race. 

‘You know, I was hanging out with my kids yesterday. We were actually at the swimming pool, and somebody brought over their phone and showed me the news that Joe Biden had announced he was dropping out of this race. And look, I don’t like Joe Biden and I don’t like his policies. And I’m not a Democrat primary voter. I never have been, and I never will be unless this goes really wrong, ladies and gentlemen,’ Vance recalled.

‘I imagine most of you did not vote for Joe Biden. If you did, welcome aboard. We’re glad to have you,’ Vance said.

Vance went on stating that what is happening now is a threat to democracy.

‘The idea of selecting the Democrat Party’s nominee because George Soros and Barack Obama and a couple of elite Democrats got in a smoke-filled room and decided to throw Joe Biden overboard. That is not how it works. That is a threat to democracy, not the Republican Party, which is fighting for democracy every single day,’ Vance said. 

Vance continued saying that he really believes that most Americans are fundamentally good, whether they’re Democrat, Republican or independent.

‘So my message to Democrats who are disgusted by this process because of how anti-democratic it is. You are welcome in the Republican Party, where we think we should persuade voters and not lie to voters. Come on in. The water’s warm,’ Vance said.

While speaking to the crowd, Vance acknowledged Michigan being a battleground state and said that he could not give the state of Michigan any reason to vote against the Trump-Vance ticket and would work hard for every single vote. 

‘While my life wasn’t all that different from a lot of people who grew up in Middletown, Ohio, it was tough, but it was surrounded by loving people, and it was surrounded by something that, if we don’t fight, is not going to be around for the next generation of kids. And that’s opportunity. Middletown had an opportunity, and we got to make sure it’s there for the next generation,’ Vance said. 

Vance also shared the moment Trump called to ask him to be his running mate and shared why it was the right opportunity for him and his family to take. 

‘So I had no idea what was coming. And when the president called me and asked me. He said, ‘Would you like to run as my vice presidential running mate?’ I said, ‘Well, yeah, of course’,’ Vance shared. ‘But he did something that was really amazing. Afterwards, he said, ‘What do you think about the statement I’m about to put out?’ Of course, he put it out on social media. It’s one of the things I love about President Trump is that he speaks directly to people. He doesn’t allow a bunch of consultants to filter him. He is who he is. And that’s why a lot of us love him.’

Vance is set to hold another rally in Radford, Virginia, on Monday evening. 

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz warned Republicans against underestimating Vice President Kamala Harris as she emerges as the top contender for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.

‘Republicans, I worry, vastly underestimate Kamala Harris. They don’t think very highly of her. They don’t think she’s terribly bright. When you or I bring up Kamala Harris’ name in Republican circles, people laugh. It’s immediately a punchline,’ Cruz said Monday on his podcast ‘Verdict with Ted Cruz.’ 

Cruz warned against Republicans preemptively celebrating a Trump-Vance win months out from the election, arguing Democrats and the media will promote Harris as an ‘historic’ candidate. 

‘I think people are underestimating what billions of dollars of free media, of the entire corrupt corporate media complex, pitching her as a combination of Mother Teresa, Oprah and Gandhi,’ Cruz said. 

‘I still think Trump wins in November, but this is not a layup. It is not given.… If you’re a Democrat, what makes you nervous is chaos, and this much chaos 100 days out is scary. But you know what? Even more scary is going to an election where you’re almost certain to lose, which is where Biden was,’ he continued. 

President Biden announced Sunday afternoon on X that he was bowing out of the presidential race, which was quickly followed by him endorsing his vice president to run in his place. 

‘My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this,’ Biden said in a follow-up social media post endorsing Harris. 

The vice president held her first public address Monday since Biden’s announcement, praising Biden for his decades in government. 

‘I am a firsthand witness that every day our President Joe Biden fights for the American people and we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation,’ she said Monday from the South Lawn of the White House during an event celebrating NCAA athletes. 

‘Celebrate after Election Day. Celebrate after we’ve won. Now is not the time for celebration. Now is the time for hard work.’

Harris is not yet the official nominee of her party, as the DNC must first certify her – or another potential candidate – next month. 

Former President Trump officially became the nominee of the Republican Party last week after announcing Ohio. Sen. JD Vance as his running mate. Cruz said the RNC, which was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was the ‘best’ he’s attended in all his years in politics. However, he remarked it was concerning to see some in the GOP were ‘overconfident’ that Trump has an election win locked. 

‘I was very worried at the convention,’ Cruz said. ‘… I am afraid people were overconfident at the convention. There was an air of celebration. It was, ‘We’ve won. We’re on to victory. This is a landslide. Trump’s coming back in. We’ve got a huge Republican majority.”

‘In my view, and I was trying to say this, ‘Look, there’s a time for celebration. Celebrate after Election Day. Celebrate after we’ve won. Now is not the time for celebration. Now is the time for hard work.”

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz warned Republicans against underestimating Vice President Kamala Harris as she emerges as the top contender for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.

Vice President Kamala Harris praised President Biden on Monday for his accomplishments in the first few years of his term, claiming he has done more than other presidents and with less time than they had.

‘In one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office,’ she said in opening remarks at the White House’s event for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship teams.

Biden announced his decision to step aside and suspend his 2024 presidential campaign after significant pressure mounted for him to do so. ‘It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,’ he wrote in a letter posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday. ‘While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.’

The president endorsed Harris as his successor after announcing his decision. ‘I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,’ she responded in a statement.

Harris’s remarks on Monday were the first after she accepted Biden’s endorsement, making her intention to be the 2024 Democratic nominee known.

She complimented the president, specifically for ‘his honesty, his integrity, his commitment to his faith and his family, his big heart and his love, deep love of our country.’

‘I am first-hand witness that every day our president, Joe Biden, fights for the American people. And we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation,’ she added.

The vice president also told attendees that Biden wanted to attend the event, adding that ‘He is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road.’

Biden tested positive for COVID-19 last week, according to the White House. 

Harris also announced on X that she would be heading to the campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware to say hello to the staff during her first full day of campaigning for president. ‘One day down. 105 to go. Together, we’re going to win this,’ she wrote. 

While some Democrats stopped short of endorsing Harris as Biden had on Sunday, a plethora of high profile endorsements for her poured in on Monday morning, many of which were from those being speculated to challenge her. Without a prominent challenger thus far, Harris could be poised to have the party coalesce around her as the nominee. 

House Republicans are pushing a new resolution demanding that U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle be fired over the failed assassination attempt against former President Trump.

Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., unveiled the legislation Monday during a tense hearing on Capitol Hill where both Republicans and Democrats expressed frustration with Cheatle’s lack of candor in her answers. It’s already gotten support from a number of House Oversight Committee Republicans.

Langworthy told Fox News Digital that Cheatle ‘must be held accountable for the unacceptable failure to keep President Trump and rallygoers safe on July 13th.’

‘In our Oversight hearing today, she did nothing but dodge questions and deflect blame. Corey Comperatore is dead because of this failure of the Secret Service. The American people deserve transparency and competence from their leaders, especially those tasked with the critical responsibility of protecting our nation’s highest office. She must be fired now,’ Langworthy said.

It comes amid mounting calls for the Secret Service director to leave her role after a 20-year-old gunman was able to open fire on Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania from a rooftop just outside the event perimeter. One attendee died and two others were injured.

Trump himself was shot in the ear and was evacuated offstage by Secret Service agents.

Demands for Cheatle to be relieved of her duties have come primarily from the right, though on Sunday, Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, also urged her to step down.

‘I’m very sorry to reach this conclusion: I have no confidence in the leadership of the United States Secret Service. I hereby call on Kimberly Cheatle to resign,’ Boyle said. 

Democrats have also stepped out of Cheatle’s ongoing hearing on Monday to vent about answers they found insufficient during the all-day hearing.

‘If she continues to evade fairly simple and direct questions…I think she makes the case for her continuation much more problematic,’ Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., told reporters.

Progressive Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., on Monday called for Cheatle to resign during the Secret Service director’s hearing, saying, ‘If you have an assassination attempt on a president or a former president or a candidate, you need to resign.’

Fox News Digital reached out to the Secret Service for comment.

JD Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio newly tapped as former President Trump’s running mate, is hitting the campaign trail on Monday, as Vice President Harris’ team scrambles to consolidate support from Democrats a day after President Biden bowed out of the race. 

Vance, who Trump a week ago named as his vice presidential pick on the heels of surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, is scheduled to hold a campaign rally in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, on Monday afternoon. Later Monday evening, Vance is to hold another rally in Radford, Virginia. 

For the first time since Biden announced he would no longer seek re-election, Harris spoke at the White House Monday morning during an event honoring NCAA college athletes. 

‘Our president, Joe Biden wanted to be here today. He is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road,’ Harris said at the start of her remarks. ‘And I wanted to say a few words about our president. Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history.’

Harris, who recalled first getting to know Biden through his late son, Beau, championed the president’s ‘honesty, his integrity, his commitment to his faith and his family, his big heart and his love, deep love of our country.’ She said she is a ‘firsthand witness that every day our president, Joe Biden, fights for the American people. And we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation.’

Biden, who has been self-isolating in Rehoboth, Delaware, after testing positive for COVID-19 last week, dropped the bombshell announcement Sunday that he would no longer seek re-election. In a letter shared online, Biden endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee and said he would focus on his duties for the remainder of his term. He still has not been seen publicly since making the announcement.

Reuters reported that campaign officials have already made hundreds of calls on Harris’ behalf insisting that delegates name her the Democrats’ presidential nominee during next month’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago. 

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat once viewed as a potential rival to Biden, said in an X post Monday that she endorses Harris. Another Democrat, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, said during an appearance on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ that he too endorses Harris as president and signaled interest in potentially joining her ticket as vice presidential running mate.

Harris released a statement Sunday after Biden stepped aside. 

‘My intention is to earn and win this nomination,’ Harris said. ‘I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party – and unite our nation – to defeat Donald Trump.’

Sources told Reuters that the Trump campaign has been preparing for Harris’ possible entry into the race for weeks, as increasing numbers of Democratic lawmakers and donors called on Biden to step aside following his stumbling and stalled debate performance in Atlanta last month. 

President Biden’s exit from the 2024 race means former President Trump will be the oldest nominee in U.S. history, a fact not lost on Democrats looking to turn the age question around on Republicans.

‘This will probably boil down to Donald Trump, who is the oldest nominee in history, against Kamala Harris,’ Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., said in reaction to the news that Biden was dropping out of the race, according to a report in The Associated Press.

Maxwell’s comments come as the race for the White House was thrown into chaos Sunday by Biden’s announcement that he was stepping aside, arguing in a statement posted to social media that he made the decision ‘in the best interest of my party and the country.’

Concerns over what was in the best interest of the party and the country mostly focused around Biden’s age and mental acuity, an issue that became even more prominent after the president’s disastrous debate performance at the beginning of the month. Calls for Biden, who would be 82 by inauguration day, to drop out of the race continued to intensify in the weeks after the debate, finally leading to his decision to step aside Sunday.

That decision makes Trump, 78, the oldest nominee in history, opening up the new line of attack from Democrats.

‘Donald Trump is too old to be President,’ Democratic Ohio State Rep. Casey Weinstein posted on X in reaction to the news that Trump was now the oldest ever nominee.

‘The man is nearly 80-years-old and so the question is, can he serve another four years? I’m not sure he can,’ former South Carolina state Rep. Bakari Sellers, a Democrat, told CNN.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who Biden endorsed to top the ticket after dropping out, also plans to attack Trump’s age if she eventually does become the nominee, according to a report from the Telegraph, citing the vice president’s deputy chief of staff.

The report also added that Erin Wilson, a West Wing veteran, hinted at a similar strategy, saying in a call with the group ‘Win With Black Woman’ that Harris would make ‘the issue of age and fitness a liability for Trump.’

‘Her role as a prosecutor makes her the ultimate contrast to Trump, the convicted felon,’ Wilson reportedly said on the call.

When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, Harris campaign spokesperson James Singer said that the ‘American people are rightly concerned that the Republican Party has nominated Donald Trump, a 78-year-old convicted criminal,’ adding that Trump ‘has spent decades screwing over working people and now wants to destroy our democracy, ban abortion, and only cares about himself.’
