In an editorial published Friday evening and titled “to serve the country, President Biden must leave the race” at the White House, the New York Times described Joe Biden as “a shadow of a leader,” after the 81-year-old president “failed his own test.”
Unrecognizable, Joe Biden swallowed words, did not finish certain sentences and stared into space during the televised duel Thursday against his Republican predecessor.
“Mr. Biden has been an admirable president. Under his leadership, the nation has prospered and begun to address a range of long-term challenges, and the wounds opened by Mr. Trump have begun to heal. But the greatest public service Mr. Biden could perform today would be to announce that he will not seek reelection,” the New York Times.
Its editorial board brings together renowned columnists and is supposed to reflect the values of the media.
Members of the Democratic Party also challenged Biden’s ability to take on a new mandate, which sparked a storm within the party, but Joe Biden assured Friday that he could “do the job”, receiving support in the process. of two of his predecessors, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
