Joe Biden to leave US Presidential Election 2024 race against Donald Trump? Full list of newspapers that call for big move

A number of American newspapers and their editorial boards have opined that US President Joe Biden must leave the race for Presidential Election 2024 after the Presidential debate debacle against Donald Trump.

The New York Times editorial board publish and article and sent a message to the 81-year-old incumbent President to drop out of election for a second term. The Chicago Tribune echoed the same pitch and tone by asking Mr. President to culminate his quest for another tenure, a report on USA Today said.

The Washington Post has asked President Biden to introspect by doing "soul-searching". The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has suggested that Biden must opt out from the race. The Economist has called for another Democratic nominee in place of Biden, USA Today reported.


Meanwhile, as the Democratic Party fights over whether Joe Biden should step aside before November's presidential election, rival Donald Trump has declined to join the pile-on.

Biden's halting debate last week against Trump fuelled concerns among voters around the president's age and ability to govern -- fears that Republicans have often been eager to highlight.

Yet the Trump campaign has now pushed back against the idea of Biden stepping down.

Democrats dumping their own candidate would tip them into uncertainty just months before the election -- but it also carries risks for Trump, experts told AFP.

Former Republican candidate Nikki Haley warned over the weekend that a Biden replacement would be more "vibrant," urging Republicans "to prepare and get ready for what's to come."

Trump's campaign -- like top Democratic officials -- has insisted that Biden is not going anywhere.

Republican campaign advisor Brian Hughes said walking away from Biden would amount to Democratic "dishonesty," while Senator JD Vance -- a possible Trump vice president -- said doing so would be "an incredible insult" to Democratic voters.
