President Joe Biden has left many Democrats concerned that he is not their best chance to defeat Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
The newspaper cited Biden’s poor performance against Republican former President Donald Trump in their first debate on Thursday.
The editorial comes as a number of Democrats and fundraisers consider pushing for Biden to step aside in the contest."Mr. Biden has said that he is the candidate with the best chance of taking on this threat of tyranny and defeating it. His argument rests largely on the fact that he beat Mr. Trump in 2020," the Times editorial said. "That is no longer a sufficient rationale for why Mr. Biden should be the Democratic nominee this year.
The stunning editorial came a day after Biden gave a blundering performance in his first debate against Trump in the 2024 White House race. ''It should be remembered that Mr. Biden challenged Mr. Trump to this verbal duel,'' the editorial said."He set the rules, and he insisted on a date months earlier than any previous general election debate. He understood that he needed to address longstanding public concerns about his mental acuity and that he needed to do so as soon as possible."This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.
