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.

He’s not going anywhere, he had a cold & overdosed on cold medicine.
He’ll be fine on September 10th.
They’ll change their tune as directed. As usual.
Correct. Limit Joe Biden's appearances.
Use Obama and Bill Clinton as his surrogates to campaign on the trail instead.
remember folks, bi-dummy ran a ‘basement’ campaign 4 years ago. They knew then. They knew. He’s just a puppet.
“Media….”
The primaries are almost over.
Changing candidates would get everyone in court.
Right. He was starting to decline back then. But he got by campaigning from his basement. And Trump made a critical error during his debate with Biden in 2020, he wouldn’t “shut up” so he was seen as an obnoxious jerk.
Useful idiots don’t like it when they find out they are the useful idiots.
By tomorrow the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Economist, the Chicago Tribune and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution will singing another tune... If Biden isn’t competent enough to be a Presidential candidate, then he isn’t competent enough to be President... Which essentially suggest that Kamala Harris should now be President... But she isn’t and nobody wants her to be President. They need to stick with Biden until the convention... Then they can choose somebody else.
Maybe Biden should have the magazine editor’s homes raided by his storm troopers for an attempted coup? It really does sound kind of insurrectionist.
Correct. Limit Joe Biden’s appearances.
Use Obama and Bill Clinton as his surrogates to campaign on the trail instead.

How else can they play it?
There choices are very limited and Slick Willie & Obama aren’t that popular with the hard-core leftists.
I wouldn’t want my re-election dependent on ex Presidents who would rather be golfing.
and how many called for him to immediately resign in light of his current state?
Oh. THAT’s ok to shamble the country into destruction. It’s just not ok to fail at doing so and let Orange Man Bad correct the decline.
This sorta tells us they know the number of votes required in Nov. Nearly no campaigning and 81 million vote$? Nope.
This will die out quickly and be forgotten. Probably after the holiday all media will be back on the Biden train(wreck).
No. But they're still popular with the independent voters.
But Biden needs to lock up with the hard-core leftists who are disillusioned with the war in Gaza.
All know he’s a puppet of Obama (and his crew) but now his strings have broken and his jaw fell off. He is fading fast and its going to get worse.
Five major news media say Biden must go.
Jill says no.
Jill wins.
“Seven nays, one aye; the ayes have it.”🎩
If they insert Harris they’ll have a slight chance and some “rah rah” talk.
Then reality will set in on September 10th when Trump destroys her in the debate.
