In the first debate of the current election, U.S. President Biden performed poorly, struggling to explain future term goals, respond to Trump's provocations, and even complete a coherent sentence. The New York Times editorial calls for his withdrawal, urging the Democratic Party to nominate someone who can defeat Trump. Biden's hoarse voice, stuttering, and occasional blank expressions reinforced concerns about his age, with growing calls for him to withdraw from the race following the debate. The editorial states that Biden's determination to run again is seen as a 'reckless gamble,' pointing out that his inability to address challenges effectively reflects a lack of capability to combat Trump's threats to national values and institutions. The article concludes by urging Democratic Party leaders to acknowledge that Biden is not fit for the race and to nominate a stronger candidate to defeat Trump, suggesting that Biden's best way to serve the country and protect its soul is to withdraw from the election, as he previously stated his motivation for running was to 'protect the soul of the nation.'
