Biden’s campaign reminded people that The New York Times didn’t endorse him to be president the first time around either.

President Joe Biden’s campaign has hit back at The New York Times after the paper’s editorial board officially called for him to step aside from the presidential race in a piece entitled, “To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race.” Biden’s campaign reminded Americans that the paper previously jointly endorsed two Democratic presidential candidates Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren in 2020 instead of Biden. But despite being snubbed by the prestigious broadsheet, Biden would go on to win his party’s nomination and defeat Trump in November 2020. A senior adviser to the president told CNN: “The last time Joe Biden lost The New York Times editorial board’s endorsement, it turned out pretty well for him.” The editorial board said it didn’t take the decision to call for Biden to drop out lightly but that it reflects the “seriousness of Mr. Trump’s challenge to the values and institutions of this country and the inadequacy of Mr. Biden to confront him.”
