The action by the New York Times editorial board to call for President Biden to drop out of the race following the debate Thursday night was irresponsible and wholly divisive.

You want performance? Look at what Trump did, and what Biden has done in their presidencies, and don’t instead say a performance deciding who should be elected this November should be based on a portion of a single, artificially staged for TV event.
