President Biden and Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. President Donald Trump are facing off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 campaign. The New York Times editorial board on Friday urged President Joe Biden to exit the presidential election contest against Donald Trump, citing the Democrat's poor debate performance the previous night. "That is no longer a sufficient rationale for why Mr. Biden should be the Democratic nominee this year." ''It should be remembered that Mr. Biden challenged Mr. Trump to this verbal duel,'' the editorial said. The Times editorial board for decades has been the leading liberal newspaper editorial voice in the United States.
