‘Reckless Gamble’: New York Times Editorial Board Calls for Biden to Drop Out After Debate

by Misty Severi

The New York Times’s Editorial Board released a blithering op-ed on Friday night that called for President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race after his disastrous debate performance on Thursday. 

Biden’s performance in the televised debate has shaken many Democratic insiders, leaving some liberal leaders reportedly scrambling to find a replacement candidate that has a chance of beating former President Donald Trump in November. But the White House has maintained that Biden will remain in the race.

“The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant,” the board wrote. “He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations … More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence.”

They continued: “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.”
