The New York Times Columnist Thomas L. “Tom” Friedman, a close friend of President Joe Biden, can’t take it anymore. In an opinion piece on Friday, appearing to be in tears, the writer advised the octogenarian Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election following his “heartbreaking” performance in the debate.
Friedman’s essay Recruitment You’ve made the main points. Under the heading Joe Biden is a good man and a good president, and he should drop out of the race. Friedman He emphasized his own personal anguish over the events that had unfolded.
I was alone in my hotel room in Lisbon watching the Biden vs. Trump debate and I started to cry. I have never experienced such a heartbreaking moment in American presidential politics in my lifetime. And that is precisely because it became clear that Joe Biden is a good man and a good president, but he is not fit to run for reelection.
Friedman then advised the Biden family to approach Biden and “have the most difficult conversations with the president — conversations of love, clarity and determination. To give America the best chance of deterring the threat of Trump in November, the president must step forward and declare that he will not run for reelection and will send all of his delegates to the Democratic National Convention.”

As for who could fill Biden’s position after he leaves office, Friedman believes there’s no question that Vice President Kamala Harris should put her hand up along with other candidates.
Ultimately, a tearful Friedman believes Biden has no future in the 2024 election. He concludes his piece:
If Biden insists on running and loses to Trump, he and his family, as well as the staff and party members who supported him, will be barred from running in the election.
They deserve better. America deserves better. The world deserves better.
Like Friedman, many seem to have doubts about Biden’s ability to move forward.
As reported by Breitbart News, a CNN preliminary poll of the debate conducted by SSRS found that: found Sixty-seven percent of those surveyed believe former President Donald Trump won the debate, while just 33% believe Biden won.
Notably, before the debate, 55 percent of those same voters expected Trump to perform better, compared to 45 percent.
