President Biden and Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. President Donald Trump are facing off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 campaign.
The New York Times editorial board on Friday urged President Joe Biden to exit the presidential election contest against Donald Trump, citing the Democrat's poor debate performance the night before.
"The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant," the Times editorial said.
''It should be remembered that Mr. Biden challenged Mr. Trump to this verbal duel,'' the editorial said.
The Times editorial board for decades has been the leading liberal newspaper editorial voice in the United States.
