(NewsNation) — Another major newspaper is calling for a presidential candidate to leave the race, but it’s not President Joe Biden.
“The debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is (Donald) Trump,” the Philadelphia Inquirer’s editorial board wrote Saturday.
The Inquirer says, yes, Biden’s debate performance was a disaster.
“But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office,” the editorial board wrote.
“Trump told more than 30 lies during the debate to go with the more than 30,000 mistruths told during his four years as president. He dodged the CNN moderators’ questions, took no responsibility for his actions, and blamed others, mainly Biden, for everything that is wrong in the world.”
The Inquirer’s editorial comes as two other major papers, The New York Times and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, called on Biden to leave the race.
The Inquirer acknowledged the futility of its editorial with a sub-headline under the banner calling on Trump to withdraw: “But he won’t, so Joe Biden is gonna beat him in November. Carry on.”
