Sad, but necessary. A lot more people close to Biden will have to be braver and have similar conversations if it's to end well.

What so many miss is that it's not a matter of whether Biden can win, but what is the probability, and can we increase that probability with a different candidate. If the probability is even one percent higher, and it's likely much more than that, then with democracy at stake of course you switch.

Next time you hate writing something, maybe don’t write it. Trust that inner voice.

Was there something in your NYT contract that required it?

The reason he should withdraw is that he did poorly at a debate?

Very disappointed you hold this view. My wife canceled her NY Times subscription over this and the editorial by the Editorial Board.

I disagree as I think trying to manage a new Jane or Johnny Unbeatable becoming the new nominee would not be so easy that it can be put together in time for the election.

I agree that the only possible replacement is Kamala, so it's good that racism and misogyny aren't a thing any more. My recollection is that her 2020 presidential campaign crashed and burned. The assumption that she would run a great campaign is not necessarily warranted.

Amazing timing. Truly. Maybe you need to consider retiring.

But you wrote it anyway. What is it with so many Democrats that they give up at the slightest setback? Republicans worked for fifty years to overturn Roe yet so many Democrats cannot last an hour

A theme among the replies seems to be a mutual hatred of you having written it, so that’s pleasingly symmetrical

Ugh. Mr Krugman, you're one of the few accounts I look forward to hearing from on Bluesky. In pretty much everything you write you make sense, & show common sense wisdom, taking down the "Very Serious People". This take on Biden is the take of a "Very Serious Person". I thought it was beneath you.
