The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) called on President Biden to withdraw from the presidential race following his debacle at Thursday night’s debate.
The AJC editorial board published a front-page editorial Sunday arguing that Biden should withdraw from the race “in the interest of the country” and to defeat former President Trump.
“For President Biden, the shadow of retirement is now necessary,” the committee wrote.

They argued that Biden failed to convey a “competent and coherent vision for America’s future” during the first presidential debate in Atlanta on Thursday.
“He didn’t outline the most basic aspects of his policies,” they wrote. “He didn’t take credit for significant accomplishments during his three and a half years in office. And he didn’t refute the evasions of his opponent, who, according to CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale, lied 30 times during the debate, one for every 90 seconds of allotted time.”
