Editorial Board of the Journal New York TimesThe most influential newspaper in the US progressive media, on Tuesday openly appealed to the Democratic Party with a request promote a new candidate and to do this “to demonstrate (to Joe Biden) that the party no longer follows him“.

While the paper has previously published opinion pieces calling for Biden to step down, in this case it the editorial is fully signed by the governing body which calls on party leaders to “talk to force to the president and the public about need from new candidate“.

The headline recalls that Biden, who has acknowledged that he needs “to sleep moreand turn off at 8 pm”, “there’s no point in trying simultaneously perform two of the most complex and challenging tasks in the world: exercise the president and the presidential election campaign.”

According to the NYT, the Democratic Party heavyweights are acting on the basis of respect for Biden and on the basis that they can be more influential with private advice than with public criticism, but “a whisper campaign is inadequate now because the moment is urgent: the more Biden clings to his candidacy, the harder it will be” replace this“.

The editors cite a survey conducted last week by the same newspaper, which yielded compelling results: 74% respondents showed FINE with what Biden is too old (81) to remain in office, a percentage that rose five points after his disastrous debate performance with Donald Trump.
