BREAKING: Democrats want Joe Biden to quit Presidential race after poor debate with Donald Trump

Following his performance at the CNN presidential debate, the New York Times Editorial Board has urged President Joe Biden to withdraw from the campaign for the White House.

“The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant. He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence,” the board wrote in an opinion piece published yesterday.

According to the Board, “The greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election. As it stands, the president is engaged in a reckless gamble. There are Democratic leaders better equipped to present clear, compelling and energetic alternatives to a second Trump presidency.

“There is no reason for the party to risk the stability and security of the country by forcing voters to choose between Mr. Trump’s deficiencies and those of Mr. Biden. It’s too big a bet to simply hope Americans will overlook or discount Mr. Biden’s age and infirmity that they see with their own eyes.”

The board continued by saying that if Biden and former President Donald Trump are still up for the nomination, they will continue to back him as their “unequivocal pick.”

But the Biden team responded angrily to the editorial board’s criticism.

Cedric Richmond, co-chair of Joe Biden’s campaign, told CNN, “The last time Joe Biden lost the New York Times editorial board’s endorsement, it turned out pretty well for him.”

The Times supported Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren, two Democratic contenders for president in 2020.

Following his performance at the CNN presidential debate, the New York Times Editorial Board has urged President Joe Biden to withdraw from the campaign for the White House.

The New York Times was the most recent outlet to criticise Biden’s debate performance, which has raised concerns among influential Democrats and led some to openly wonder if he can continue to lead the Democratic ticket.

Longtime Democratic strategist and CNN senior political analyst David Axelrod, stated, “He seemed a little disoriented. He did get stronger as the debate went on. But by that time, I think the panic had set in,” 

Additionally, Axelrod voiced a discussion that many Democrats were having on Thursday night when he said, “There are going to be discussions about whether he should continue.”
