The New York Times editorial board declared that President Joe Biden should drop his re-election bid.
"To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race," the headline of the piece asserts.
The editorial board's suggestion that Biden should abandon his run for another term came on the heels of the president's abysmal performance in a debate against former President Donald Trump.
'That is how much of a danger Mr. Trump poses.'
"The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant. He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump's provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence," the editorial board wrote.
But the New York Times editorial board still said that it would back Biden over Trump in a contest between the two men.
"If the race comes down to a choice between Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden, the sitting president would be this board's unequivocal pick. That is how much of a danger Mr. Trump poses. But given that very danger, the stakes for the country and the uneven abilities of Mr. Biden, the United States needs a stronger opponent to the presumptive Republican nominee. To make a call for a new Democratic nominee this late in a campaign is a decision not taken lightly, but it reflects the scale and seriousness of Mr. Trump's challenge to the values and institutions of this country and the inadequacy of Mr. Biden to confront him," the piece states.
"The clearest path for Democrats to defeat a candidate defined by his lies is to deal truthfully with the American public: acknowledge that Mr. Biden can't continue his race, and create a process to select someone more capable to stand in his place to defeat Mr. Trump in November," the editorial board wrote. "It is the best chance to protect the soul of the nation — the cause that drew Mr. Biden to run for the presidency in 2019 — from the malign warping of Mr. Trump. And it is the best service that Mr. Biden can provide to a country that he has nobly served for so long."

Dressing down: GOP senators — and even the Washington Post editorial board — object to Schumer's Senate dress code decision
Nearly every Republican senator has signed onto a letter pressing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to reverse course after the lawmaker recently moved to ditch the chamber's dress code for senators.
Axios reported that Schumer directed the chamber's Sergeant at Arms not to uphold the Senate's informal dress code for senators. "Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit," the lawmaker noted in a statement, according to the outlet.
"Allowing casual clothing on the Senate floor disrespects the institution we serve and the American families we represent. We the undersigned members of the United States Senate write to express our supreme disappointment and resolute disapproval of your recent decision to abandon the Senate's longstanding dress code for members, and urge you to immediately reverse this misguided action," a letter to Schumer signed by 46 GOP senators states.
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania presided over the chamber on Wednesday while wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.
"If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week," Fetterman tweeted Wednesday.

Even the Washington Post gave a thumbs down to Schumer's dress code move.
"We vote nay. Dressing formally conveys respect for the sanctity of the institution and for the real-world impact of the policies it advances. Putting on a suit creates an occasion for lawmakers to reflect, just for a moment, on the special responsibilities with which the people have entrusted them and on a deliberative process that at least aspires to solemnity," the editorial board wrote.
Axios reported that it was unclear if the chamber's dress code is really a formal, written policy, noting that it seems to be an informal custom upheld by the Sergeant at Arms. The New York Times reported that there is not a formal, written dress code, but that senators have long been informally obliged to sport business attire.

Why Is The New York Times Urging America To Buddy Up With Communist China?
The editorial board’s pro-CCP bias has many causes, but most revolve around profit.Philadelphia Inquirer editorial board: 'These high gas prices aren't Joe Biden's fault'
The Philadelphia Inquirer editorial board is telling people not to attribute soaring gas prices to President Joe Biden.
In a piece titled "Don’t blame Biden for higher gas prices," the editorial board pointed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as well as supply and demand factors related to the COVID-19 downturn as reasons for the high cost of fuel.
"Current pump prices are due largely to the basic economics of supply and demand. Much of the global economy shut down during the pandemic, and oil prices plummeted as demand evaporated virtually overnight," the piece states. "As demand dried up, oil companies cut back on production and exploration. When the economy bounced back, demand for oil increased but production has not been able to keep pace. With demand far outstripping supply, prices have skyrocketed."
The piece said that Biden's Build Back Better spending proposal contained "tax credits for wind and solar power" and "an extension of Biden’s child tax credit, which provided $300 in monthly payments to help struggling families, which could offset some of the pain they're feeling at the pump."
"Voters wanting to cast blame might want to turn their attention to Sen. Joe Manchin (D.-W.Va.) and the Republicans in the House and Senate who opposed efforts to boost green energy and support the child tax credit. These high gas prices aren’t Joe Biden’s fault," the editorial board declared.
Biden has urged Congress to suspend the federal gas tax. Such a move would not lead to substantial savings for financially beleaguered drivers because the federal gas tax is a bit higher than 18 cents per gallon, while the AAA national average price for a gallon of regular gas was $4.94 as of Thursday.
"Make no mistake about it, President Biden's assault on our energy industry has caused gas prices to skyrocket in Pennsylvania and harmed thousands of jobs across the country," tweeted Dr. Mehmet Oz, a Republican who is currently running for a U.S. Senate seat in the Keystone State.
