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.”
