The Philadelphia Inquirer flipped The New York Times call for President Joe Biden to quit his campaign following his disastrous debate performance last week into an attack on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump .

The Times editorial board on Friday explained its call for Biden to drop out of the 2024 election with an op-ed titled, To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race.

On Saturday, the Inquirers editorial board summed up why it believes former President Trump is not fit for another four years of office with its op-ed that was similarly headlined, To Serve His Country, Donald Trump Should Leave The Race .

The Inquirer acknowledged that Bidens performance against Trump was a disaster but warned that lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trumps usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering.

The debate about the debate is misplaced and the only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump, it added.

The board recalled just some of the scandals, controversies and failings of Trumps presidency.

Why go back to that? it asked.

Biden on his worst day remains lightyears better than Trump on his best, it added, arguing that Biden must now show that he is up to the job.
