President Joe Biden’s campaign is responding to the New York Times Editorial Board’s recent call for him to exit the 2024 race in light of his debate performance. A senior adviser from Biden’s campaign pointed out that the last time Biden lost the New York Times endorsement, it worked out well for him.
In the 2020 election, the New York Times had endorsed two Democratic presidential candidates, Senators Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren, instead of Biden. The Editorial Board's recent critique of Biden's performance highlighted that they believe he is not the same as he was four years ago and questioned the rationale behind his decision to run again, labeling it a “reckless gamble.”
Despite the criticism from the Editorial Board, Biden’s campaign remains steadfast in their support for the President. The response from the senior adviser indicates a level of confidence in Biden’s ability to navigate the challenges ahead.
It is not uncommon for political candidates to face scrutiny and calls for them to step aside, especially after public appearances like debates. However, Biden’s team seems undeterred by the New York Times’ stance and is focused on continuing their campaign for the upcoming election.
