The New York Times editorial board in an editorial published Friday urged President Joe Biden to step aside in the 2024 race after his poor debate performance in Atlanta on Thursday night. “The truth Mr. Biden needs to confront now is that he failed his own test,” the board wrote.

His opponent, former President Donald Trump, is the second-oldest person ever to serve as president.
