The Boston Globe editorial board recently called on President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and allow other Democratic Party candidates to take his place.
Another major city newspaper has called on President Biden to abandon his re-election bid following his highly criticized debate performance against former President Trump last week.
editorial board published a column Wednesday arguing that at this point, Biden running for office is too big of a risk, and that he must step aside soon so that a more suitable Democratic candidate can be nominated.
«For the good of the country, his party, and his legacy, Biden must do this. And soon», it declared.
The Globe’s editorial began by slamming Biden’s team for not being able to «adequately» explain «why his performance was historically bad, beyond that he had a cold.» It went on to reject his allies’ defense that keeping Biden is still the country’s least risky move to beating Trump and that trying to select a new party nominee would be too risky.
«Maybe. But in the view of this board, and a growing number of other editorial pages and Democratic officials, the greater risk lies in allowing Biden to continue as the party’s standard-bearer», the board wrote. «Serious questions are now in play about his ability to complete the arduous work of being leader of the free world. Can he negotiate with a hostile Republican Congress, dangerous foreign powers, or even fractious rivals within his own Cabinet? The nation’s confidence has been shaken.
