NYT Editorial Board Urges Biden to Exit 2024 Race to Prevent Trump

Jun 28, 2024, 10:15 PM

The New York Times editorial board has called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. In a strongly worded editorial titled 'To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race,' the board argues that Biden's withdrawal is necessary to prevent a second term for former President Donald Trump. The editorial suggests that Biden's greatest public service would be to announce he will not seek re-election, emphasizing the significant risk posed by another Trump presidency. The call comes after what has been described as a debate disaster.
