The New York Times Editorial Board published an opinion urging President Joe Biden to step aside in the 2024 race after his poor debate performance in Atlanta. The board emphasized the need for a more capable candidate to defeat Donald Trump in November, citing Biden’s failure to meet his own standards. Biden’s campaign dismissed the suggestion, pointing out that the Times did not endorse him during the primaries in 2020. The Trump campaign responded by highlighting Biden’s current status as the incumbent president and the Democratic nominee, making it too late for him to drop out. Despite these calls for him to step aside, Biden has given no indication that he plans to do so and defended his capacity to serve in a speech the following day. At 81, Biden is the oldest president in American history, while Trump is the second oldest. Democrats have expressed alarm over Biden’s debate performance, which was marked by a raspy voice and rhetorical missteps. The editorial board’s piece reflects concerns about Biden’s ability to effectively lead the country, despite his assertions that he can still tell the truth and fulfill his duties as president.
