These major media outlets have called for Biden to drop out
The Hill ^ | 6/30/24 | Nick Robertson

Posted on 06/30/2024 6:53:33 PM PDT by Libloather

Some of the country’s largest media outlets have called on President Biden to step aside and allow another Democrat to take on former President Trump in November, following the president’s concerning debate performance last week.

Biden’s first debate performance raised alarms among some Democrats and supporters, with the president struggling to string ideas together or rebut Trump’s many false statements. Almost half of Democrats in a new poll say Biden should allow a different candidate to take the party’s nomination.

Here are the major outlets that have called on Biden to drop out of the race.

The New York Times

The New Yorker

The Economist

Chicago Tribune

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Other newspapers weren’t as direct. Both The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal editorial boards said bowing out should be seriously considered by the president, though neither went as far as to explicitly recommend it.

Could be. A sneaky way to show that indeed the Emperor has no clothes.

I love the infighting. The media wants him gone. Rank and file Democrats want him to stay.

What to do. What to do.

Not a major paper except in Pennsylvania, but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette thinks we should change thr Constitution -— “Editorial: Debate debacle suggests a needed reform: Age limits for high office” -— https://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/editorials/2024/06/30/trump-biden-debate-cnn-age-limits-constitution/stories/202406280101

It was astonishing to me to see that CNN behaved themselves this time.

And why would they do this? Answer: To show the world how mentally pathetic Biden is. They really want Newsom, Whitmer or someone else.

Amen!

Biden was like this in 2019, and that’s why they hid him during the Basement Campaign. Seemed like forever, Fox would correct his statements, when they actually did not know what he meant. They were assisting Joe Biden.

When he said things you couldn’t understand, they would call It a “gaffe.”

That’s not correct either.

Kind of odd. All of sudden, the media is like "WTF"

If it was Trump that displayed this lack of cognizance on the Republican ticket, does anyone think the NY Times. New Yorker and the rest of the Democrat media would be urging him to drop out. Of course not, because he would become dog meat for their party’s candidate and assure a party victory. Don’t listen to them, Joe. Keep up the good fight. You have a son to pardon. He’s counting on you

They'll have to explain to Kamala Harris that she can't be the POTUS.

Let Biden make his case at the Democrats’ convention. The parties have conventions for a reason. Bumbling Biden, Noxious Newson and Witch Whitmer can make their cases at the convention.

Millions of voters have already chosen Biden, they can't just disenfranchise the democrat base like that. Their only chance is to get Biden to step away from his campaign and withdraw from the race voluntarily... and take the dipshit Kamalla with him somehow.

Other than that, this is going to be an airliner crashing into a train-wreck for the democrats, that could ruin their chances to hold power for decades if not permanently.

Yeah, this is the biggest political F' up in our lifetimes at least. And we get to have a front row seat to the carnage of the dem party.

Nah. They'll recover quickly with either Newsom or Whitmer in 2028 (assuming they're sticking with Biden).

Are they not conducting election interference?

LOL!! Just goes to show how quick these people will turn on, especially if they see a threat to their power. They defended Joe for years, have been supporting his re-election campaign since he stole the election in 2020, just claimed the videos of his cognitive failings were “cheap fakes,” and within hours of his horrible performance in a 90-minute debate, they’re calling for him to drop out. What a bunch of phonies.

I know this is unpleasant, but issues will be raised and must be dealt with.

The Clintons have an answer to every allegation because they come prepared. In fact, they don’t act without thinking of a plausible excuse.

He must go all in. I was told he was the best coherent, “On his game” candidate like 2 months ago.

I cannot use the words for these people.
They knew all this time Joe was outta his mind.. Despicable bunch of liars.
They cover for the piece of flesh who sold us and country, for “30 pieces of silver”.
They saw the end after it was made into a special broadcast.. The world saw the United States in the weakest condition ever.
You have attacked the good too many times.. You have heard this before.. You have awakened a peopled who wanted to live in peace with you, in this great nation. You would not have it.
This is God’s country. You can’t have it. Never..

Lots of speculation going on regarding the after shock events.

But one thing really sticks out.

This is the first timer a presidential debate was held before the conventions. Why is that?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

*********

1) Biden is deteriorating mentally & physically so they thought going early was better.

2) They thought “convicted felon” (Of what?) Trump wouldn’t accept their terms.(Big miscalculation, if true.)

3)The election is being rigged for Trump because he’s the “right man for the right time.(See *President Reagan for a recent example)

* My Reagan comment is about the “right man at the right time” not that I think Reagan had to rig anything in 1980 & 1984. I was young but Carter & Mondale were crushed without outside help.

“What to do. What to do.”

It could happen like this: A reported fall in the private area of Biden's home - no one saw it - but the president was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. He is resting fine.

There is a complication. As a result of the fall President Biden will not be able to campaign for several weeks (although mentally the president is sharp as a tack.)

Then the announcement: President Biden has reluctantly decided to take his name out of consideration and is asking his delegates to vote to nominate @3%&* for president at the convention. Let's all unite behind the new nominee and defeat Hitler!!

Joe, I’m going to make some piles. Pick the most valuable pile each time.

Here’s Pile A, two $20 bills and here’s Pile B, six $5 bills.

Pick the most valuable pile, Joe.

Here’s Pile C, four $10 bills and here’s Pile D, nine $5 bills.

Pick the most valuable pile, Joe.

Here’s Pile E, four $10 bills and three $5 bills and here’s Pile F, three $20 bills.

Pick the most valuable pile, Joe.

You know Joe is a Democrat. You know Democrats have helped the needy for over 90 years. Now it’s your turn to pick America.

Kamala will be a temporary placeholder until the election. She’ll do what she’s told.
