The New York Times editorial has urged President Joe Biden to step back from the upcoming presidential race, citing concerns about his ability to effectively counter former President Donald Trump’s threat to American democracy.
Biden’s recent statements about the elections being crucial for the future of democracy have raised alarms, with the editorial pointing out his diminishing leadership strength compared to four years ago. The editorial emphasized the need for a more dynamic and competent candidate to face Trump.
The editorial also highlighted Biden’s health issues and age as factors that could hinder his campaign and leadership if he were to be re-elected. It called on Biden and his supporters to recognize this reality and for the Democratic Party to seek a new leader who can present a strong alternative to Trump.
The NYT editorial argued that Biden’s withdrawal from the race would benefit the country by allowing the Democrats to nominate a candidate who can uphold democratic values and ensure the stability and security of the United States.
During the first debates between Biden and Trump on June 27, Biden appeared weak and stumbled, while Trump responded with falsehoods and misinformation.
