'Critical' swing state newspaper urges Trump to leave the race 'to serve his country'

The Philadelphia Inquirer appears to have trolled the New York Times Saturday with the publication of an editorial encouraging Donald Trump to leave the presidential race for the good of the country.

The Times received extensive pushback for publishing that piece, when it didn't publish a similar one calling for Trump to drop out after he was convicted of felonies.

Lindsey Graham finally answers why he hasn't deleted Trump-bashing tweet from 2016

Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican, finally answered a burning question for many who follow United States politics.

NYT reporter puts distance between himself and editorial calling for Biden to step aside

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker was cornered by host Alex Witt over an editorial published by his paper on Friday that called for President Joe Biden to drop his bid for re-election.

The controversial proposal from the editorial board came less than 24 hours after Biden's poor performance on a CNN stage where he faced Donald Trump, with the editors writing, "the president is engaged in a reckless gamble. There are Democratic leaders better equipped to present clear, compelling and energetic alternatives to a second Trump presidency. There is no reason for the party to risk the stability and security of the country by forcing voters to choose between Mr. Trump’s deficiencies and those of Mr. Biden."
