A major newspaper in a crucial swing state has recently stirred up controversy by calling for President Joe Biden to drop out of the race for the White House. The Atlanta Constitution-Journal, the largest paper in the city, made the bold move, prompting a sharp response from one of Biden’s top advisors, former Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Bottoms accused the newspaper of election interference, stating that it was unfair for an editorial board to try to influence an election with their call for Biden to step aside. She emphasized that such actions could jeopardize the integrity of the electoral process, particularly in a state like Georgia, where election integrity has been a hot topic.

The editorial from the Constitution-Journal was scathing in its assessment of Biden’s recent performance, describing it as confirmation of the worst fears of some of his supporters. Other publications such as the New York Times, New Yorker, and Chicago Tribune echoed the paper's call for Biden to exit the race. This mounting pressure on Biden to drop out has raised eyebrows and sparked a debate within Democratic circles.
Despite the calls for him to step aside, President Biden has reportedly received a surge in donations following a lackluster debate performance. While some continue to suggest that he should reconsider his reelection bid, Biden has sought solace with his family at Camp David, where discussions about his political future are said to be ongoing.
The internal turmoil within the Biden camp, with advisors and allies divided on the best course of action, highlights the challenges facing the president as he navigates a tumultuous political landscape. As the pressure mounts and calls for him to exit the race grow louder, the decision about Biden’s political future remains uncertain.
