resident Joe Biden should have withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race, argued New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman, who believed Biden's age and recent performance made him unfit for re-election and that a new Democratic candidate was necessary to prevent a second Donald Trump term. Friedman and Biden have known each other for decades and see each other as friends.
Friedman, reporting from Lisbon, expressed profound disappointment after watching the Thursday night Biden-Trump debate, urging the president to put the nation's interests first by not seeking re-election.
"Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for re-election," Friedman wrote. He added that Biden's "family and political team must gather quickly and have the hardest of conversations with the president."
Friedman suggested that Biden's family and political advisers should have had an urgent and heartfelt discussion with the president to convince him to step down.
This move, Friedman argued, was crucial to prevent a second Trump term.
"The Biden family and political team must gather quickly and have the hardest of conversations with the president, a conversation of love and clarity and resolve," Friedman wrote.
He emphasized the need for an open and transparent process to select a new Democratic nominee who could offer a compelling vision for America's future, especially in the face of significant technological and climate disruptions.

I can just hear LBJ lamenting now— “when you’ve lost Tommy Friedman you’ve lost the country!”
I actually think Biden did much better than my expectations and he over performed compared to recent public appearances that the media loved and boosted.
It's obvious that the word has gone out from the Democrat leaders that the poll numbers suck and Jo Jo has to go go.
Note to Thomass Friedman: The only way Old Joe will cease to be the Dumbocrat nominee is if he is wearing at toe tag.

“”Joe Biden, a good man and a good president...”
He is neither. One of the worst people to have ever held the office, which is saying something.
“Joe Biden, a good man and a good president ...” Friedman wrote.” Once again, this old socialist proves he’s a congenital liar.
“Fake Jew’s gonna do what a fake Jew will do!”
The party that uses the phrase “A threat to our democracy” is about to trash every primary vote for Biden and have the party bosses select the dem candidate.
