New York Times Editorial Board Calls on Biden to Drop Out of 2024 Race for November's Election

Jun 28, 2024, 10:30 PM

The New York Times editorial board has called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. In an editorial titled 'To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race,' the board argues that Biden's rationale for running, based largely on his victory over Donald Trump in 2020, is no longer sufficient. The board suggests that stepping aside would allow another Democratic candidate to be nominated for November's Election. This significant move reflects concerns about Biden's ability to win or continue to serve effectively, particularly after his concerning debate performance.
