The New York Times Editorial Board has made a significant statement regarding President Joe Biden's performance at the recent presidential debate. The Board expressed concerns about Biden's struggles during the debate, noting his difficulty in articulating his plans for a second term, responding to Trump's provocations, and holding Trump accountable for his actions.
The Board suggested that the best course of action for Biden would be to withdraw from the race for re-election. They emphasized the need for a compelling and energetic alternative to Trump within the Democratic Party, stating that it would be risky to force voters to choose between Trump's deficiencies and Biden's perceived age and infirmity.
Despite their concerns, the Board mentioned that they would still support Biden as their 'unequivocal pick' if the election came down to a choice between him and former President Donald Trump.
This statement from The New York Times Editorial Board reflects a growing sentiment within the Democratic Party regarding Biden's candidacy and the need for a strong challenger to Trump in the upcoming election.
