The New York Times editorial board has joined calls for President Joe Biden to step down as the Democratic nominee before November.
An op-ed published by the newspaper Friday was in reaction to the president’s performance during the first presidential debate of the 2024 season the night prior, where Biden faced former President Donald Trump since the first time the two candidates ran for office in 2020.
The editorial board wrote that Biden “has said that he is the candidate with the best chance of taking on” the “threat” the Trump poses to American democracy, and acknowledged the president’s victory four years ago over the presumptive GOP nominee.
“His argument rests largely on the fact that he beat Mr. Trump in 2020,” read the op-ed. “That is no longer a sufficient rationale for why Mr. Biden should be the Democratic nominee this year.”
“At Thursday’s debate, the president needed to convince the American public that he was equal to the formidable demands of the office he is seeking to hold for another term,” the editorial border continued. “Voters, however, cannot be expected to ignore what was instead plain to see: Mr. Biden is not the man he was four years ago.”
The essay was titled, “To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race.”
President Joe Biden’s campaign has hit back reminding Americans that the paper previously jointly endorsed two Democratic presidential candidates Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren in 2020 instead of Biden. But despite being snubbed by the prestigious broadsheet, Biden would go on to win his party’s nomination and defeat Trump in November 2020.
A senior adviser to the president told CNN: “The last time Joe Biden lost The New York Times editorial board’s endorsement, it turned out pretty well for him.”
The editorial board said it didn’t take the decision to call for Biden to drop out lightly but that it reflects the “seriousness of Mr. Trump’s challenge to the values and institutions of this country and the inadequacy of Mr. Biden to confront him.”

Biden is a total mental, incompetent operatonional disaster for the U.S. All of his policies have failed. He has always been this way and the Democrats have pushed him to the point where we all see him an an incompetent person. Period. He needs to go. We need for America to be Great Again. Not in the sewer where the Democrats want to take us.
