Georgia’s largest newspaper on Saturday night published a front page editorial pleading with President Joe Biden to step aside and embrace “the shade of retirement.”

The Atlanta Constitution-Journal declared Biden’s debate performance in Atlanta on Thursday night was “excruciating” and failed to lay out a "competent and coherent vision for the future of America.”

“He failed to outline the most fundamental aspects of his platform," the newspaper’s editorial board wrote. "He failed to take credit for the significant accomplishments of his 3½ years in office.

“And he failed to counter the prevarications of an opponent, who, according to CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale, lied 30 times during the course of the debate, approximately once every 90 seconds of his allotted time."

“The shade of retirement is now necessary for President Biden,” it added.

The Atlanta publication was the second major newspaper to call for Biden to step aside for the good of the country. The New York Times made the similar argument and an editorial Friday evening.
