Why? Because his competitors and rivals, not to let someone else steal a march on them, are going to begin behaving as what they are: contenders for Joe’s job, whether he runs or not. Moreover, the longer Biden delays an announcement that he is not running again in 2024, the more he will appear to have been pushed out when he does make it, as he will. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, but, go, man, go!” Our president is already bleeding plenty.”īottom line: The stories in Sunday’s and Monday’s Times detailing the physical and political disabilities of Biden suggest that establishment Democrats are of a mind to say to Joe: “Democrats can’t have their knives out the way they do now. “Biden’s age, dismal approval rating and seeming inability to inspire confidence in the party’s ranks have created an extraordinary situation in which there’s no ironclad belief that he’ll run for a second term, no universal agreement that he should and a growing roster of Democrats whose behavior can be read as preparation to challenge or step in for him. Ironically, on the op-ed page of Sunday’s Times, columnist Frank Bruni seemed to be warning against a wide-open race for the nomination, which the Times news division seemed to be encouraging. Democrats will not miss the message that the Times is ready to bolt on Biden, and if Democrats wish to win and keep Donald Trump out of the White House, they need a new horse to ride. “In the survey, 94 percent of Democrats under the age of 30 said they would prefer a different presidential nominee.” These twin stories, coming as they do, back-to-back in the Times and placed so prominently, are certain to have impact. Biden and desire to move in a new direction were particularly acute among younger voters,” said the Times.

Not only did the Times’ decision to lend credibility in its Sunday edition to the charge that Biden has lost the capacity to serve as President, Monday’s lede story drove the message home: Kennedy took on Lyndon Johnson in 1968 and Ted Kennedy took on Jimmy Carter in 1980. With this article, the Times has provided cover for, and given sanction to ambitious Biden rivals to take on the Democratic president in the way Sens.
Nor is it too much to say that the Times is giving its own belated validation to claims made for many months by conservative media that Biden is neither physically nor cognitively capable of handling the duties of his office, let alone to serve a second term, which would end in 2029 with Biden at 86 years of age. It is not too much to infer from this stunning piece on the front page of the Times that America’s newspaper of record, a citadel of liberalism, has decided it is now fair game to confront Biden on the age-and-infirmities issue. Putin ‘cannot remain in power’ in Russia.” “The White House has had to walk back some of his ad-libbed comments, such as when he vowed a military response if China attacks Taiwan or declared that President Vladimir V. Biden, who overcame a childhood stutter, stumbles over words like ‘kleptocracy.’ He has said Iranian when he meant Ukrainian and several times called Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia, ‘John,’ confusing him with the late Republican senator of that name from Virginia … More than once, he has promoted Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her ‘President Harris.’ Mr. He sometimes loses his train of thought, has trouble summoning names or appears momentarily confused. Biden’s … speeches can be flat and listless. On and on it went, the Times tale of Biden’s cognitive decline:
