On July 21, 2024, one day after President Biden announced he was withdrawing from the presidential race, Mace filed a privileged resolution on the House floor and said:

"Joe Biden, I believe, is a national security risk… Our resolution is simply expressing the sentiment of encouraging [Harris] to do so because Joe Biden does not have the cognitive ability to serve the remainder of his term."

On X, Mace also wrote: "If Joe Biden does not have the cognitive ability to seek reelection, he does not have the cognitive ability to serve the remainder of his term."
