The New York Times calls on Biden to drop out of the race for “public service”

The New York Times newspaper called in an editorial to the US president, Joe Bidenwho dropped out of the race to stay in the White House after the Democrat gave a highly questionable performance in yesterday’s debate against Donald Trump.

‘To serve his country, the President Biden should drop out of the race’ is the title of the editorial last Friday in which the prestigious newspaper states that “The greatest public service that Mr. Biden can provide now is to announce that he will not continue running for re-election”.

Biden’s performance in the face-to-face with the Republican politician left the image of a candidate diminished by the age factor and in which he hesitated on several occasions, uttered disjointed phrases and introduced inaccurate data.

“It is too big a gamble to simply expect Americans to overlook or dismiss Mr. Trump’s age and weakness. Biden“, emphasizes the header, showing that his request to the democratic candidate It is not a compliment to Trump, but quite the opposite: they consider him a common enemy.

In fact, The New York Times rated Biden as “an admirable president“under whose mandate the United States”has prospered and has begun to address a number of long-term challenges”.

The Times agrees with this that the return of donald trump (2017-2021) to the Oval Office would entail a “danger” that would compromise “The Future of American Democracy” being able to carry out “his most extreme promises and threats”.

However, according to the New York newspaper, Biden already “He is not the man he was four years ago.” and, during yesterday’s debate, he failed in his attempt to “convince the American public that he was equal to the formidable demands”.

And they recalled that this performance cannot be described as “bad night” or blame it on a “a cold“, even when “It was Biden himself who challenged Trump to this verbal duel”, which is why it should be replaced.

“Calling for a new Democratic nominee at this point in the campaign is a decision not taken lightly, but it reflects the magnitude and gravity of the challenge of trump (…) Biden’s inability to confront him“, says the editorial of the media outlet headed by Meredith Kopit Levien.

For the aforementioned media, in the Democratic ranks there are leaders who better embody “a clear, convincing and energetic alternative” to a second presidency of Trumpalthough they did not venture to slip names: “There is no reason for the party to risk the stability and security of the country”.

The newspaper also repeatedly attacked in its editorial Trump calling it “erratic, self-interested figure unworthy of public trust”, “malignant deformity” either “candidate defined by his lies”.

“It is a tragedy that Republicans themselves did not do more soul searching after the debate (…) He lied blatantly and repeatedly about his own actions, his record as president and his opponent.“, argument The New York Times.
