Of course, the
choice between Biden and Trump was always clear. One of them has steadfastly led the country out of a pandemic and into a time of relative stability, and passed landmark legislation that undoubtedly has improved the lives of everyday Americans. The other is a convicted felon who excels at sowing division and who helped foment an actual insurrection by blatantly lying to the American people about the 2020 election.
But that does not mean that Biden was the best or right person for the job, and it was obvious weeks ago that any path to preventing another Trump presidency would be significantly steeper with him as the nominee. Until now, though, that wasn’t a truth that Biden seemed willing to accept — as if his own political aspirations were more important than staving off an existential threat to our democracy. We applaud him for having the humility and self-awareness to put the country’s best interests ahead of his own.
Biden’s decision means that many swing states in which Biden trailed in recent polls may now once again be in play for Democrats. That includes North Carolina. | Opinion
