Ezra Klein: Joe Biden borde hoppa av presidentvalet

Ezra Klein, en av tidningen New York Times mest framstående kolumnister, uppmanar Joe Biden att överge sin kampanj för att bli omvald som USA:s president.

– Jag tycker att Joe Biden, hur smärtsamt det än är, ska hitta en väg för att avgå som en hjälte, säger Klein i sitt program ”The Ezra Klein show”. Han uppmanar också framstående demokrater som Barack Obama och Nancy Pelosi att hjälpa Biden ”att inse” att han borde avgå.

Enligt Klein är det stora problemet att 81-åriga Joe Biden är för gammal – eller åtminstone att väljarna tycker det.

Enligt en opinionsundersökning i veckan anser 86 procent av amerikanerna att Biden är för gammal för presidentämbetet.
