The Economist added the U.S. presidential seal to a walker mobility aid to make a blistering point about President Joe Bidenon its new cover.
“No Way To Run A Country,” read the headline of the magazine’s front page for its upcoming July 6 edition.
The presidential debate was awful for Joe Biden, but the cover-up has been worse. The dishonesty of his campaign provokes contempt. He must withdraw https://t.co/RijgS4gDI2pic.twitter.com/NcsrEVPwdx— The Economist (@TheEconomist) July 4, 2024
The cover story — titled “Why Biden Must Withdraw” — described Biden’s first presidential debate performance as “awful” and “agony to watch.”
But the “cover-up has been worse,” it continued, slamming the Biden campaign’s contempt-provoking bid to “deny what tens of millions of Americans saw with their own eyes.”
It’s right that Democrats “have begun to call openly for him to step aside,” the essay said. Biden and presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump “offer a choice between the incapable and the unspeakable. Americans deserve better,” it added.
