The NYT editorial board is lambasting Biden for staying in the race in ever harsher terms.
>>>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 ripped open by Mr. Trump have begun to heal. But the greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election. . . . The truth Mr. Biden needs to confront now is that he failed his own test. . . . The clearest path for Democrats to defeat a candidate defined by his lies is to deal truthfully with the American public: acknowledge that Mr. Biden can’t continue his race, and create a process to select someone more capable to stand in his place to defeat Mr. Trump in November. . . .<<<
The president’s inadequate performance in the debate made it clear he is not the man he was four years ago.

>>>For voters who held out hope that President Biden’s failure to communicate during last month’s debate was an aberration, the intervening days have offered little comfort.
Donald Trump’s candidacy for a second term poses a grave threat to American democracy. . . . The president, elected in 2020 as an antidote to Mr. Trump’s malfeasance and mendacity, is now trying to defy reality. . . . From the grass roots to the highest levels of the party, Democrats who want to defeat Mr. Trump in November should speak plainly to Mr. Biden. They need to tell him that his defiance threatens to hand victory to Mr. Trump. . . . Mr. Trump was the
worst president in modern American history. He is a
felon convicted of breaking the law as part of his campaign to win the 2016 election. . . .<<<
The longer Democrats delay in getting Biden to stand down, the harder it will be to replace him.
