Popular Post Social Media Posted Sunday at 08:37 PM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 08:37 PM In a significant editorial move, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) has published a front-page editorial on Saturday, urging President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. This editorial echoes sentiments previously expressed by The New York Times and has sent ripples through the political landscape. The editorial board of Georgia’s largest newspaper argues that it is time for Biden, 81, to pass the torch to another, more competent candidate. “The unfortunate truth is that Biden should withdraw from the race, for the good of the nation he has served so admirably for half a century,” the AJC Editorial Board wrote. They pointed to Biden's performance in Thursday’s debate against former President Donald Trump, which they described as "excruciating." The editorial criticized Biden for failing to convey any clear vision for a second term or to highlight his accomplishments from his nearly four years in office. The editorial did not delve into Biden’s recent series of gaffes, such as the incorrect statement that his son Beau, who died from cancer in the United States, “died in Iraq,” and his confusing claim that he “beat Medicare.” However, they noted that the president has shown clear signs of early-stage cognitive decline. The AJC drew a parallel to George Washington, who chose to retire after two terms at the age of 64, quoting Washington's words: “Every day the increasing weight of years admonishes me more and more that the shade of retirement is as necessary to me as it will be welcome.” “The shade of retirement is now necessary for President Biden,” stated the AJC Editorial Board. Acknowledging the complexity of having Biden bow out and name a successor, which would require "massive and unprecedented string of legal and regulatory actions," the AJC emphasized the urgency of the situation. They argued that the Democratic Party has a wealth of viable candidates to choose from, but immediate action is necessary. The editorial board expressed zero confidence that Biden could defeat Trump in November. “Biden deserves a better exit from public life than the one he endured when he shuffled off the stage Thursday night,” the AJC wrote. They suggested that if Biden shows the courage and dignity that have defined his political career, he might choose to retire, following the example of the nation’s first president, and thus secure his legacy of honorable service. The AJC’s call for Biden to step aside comes just a day after a similar editorial by The New York Times. While the Times acknowledged Biden as an “admirable president,” they concluded that he appeared on the debate stage as “the shadow of a great public servant” and that continuing his candidacy would be a “reckless gamble.” The editorial from the Post Editorial Board was the first major newspaper to publicly express concerns about Biden’s continued candidacy following his debate performance. “Biden can’t survive this,” the board wrote shortly after the debate concluded. They declared, “It is political malpractice to let him continue to run for re-election. It is national malpractice to let him continue.” Credit: NYP 2024-07-01 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
