The American newspaper “USA Today” has a presidential candidate for the first time in its electoral campaign expressed his support – and actually Joe Biden.
Two weeks before the Nov. 3 election, commentators justified the break with tradition on Tuesday by saying that the choice between challenger Biden and incumbent Donald Trump was not a decision between two “capable” candidates with opposing ideas.
“This year character, competence and credibility are on the ballot,” write the commentators. “Given Trump’s refusal to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power if he loses, the future of American democracy is also at stake.”
The country is dangerously off course, he says in the article, in which voters in key states also voice their opinion. The most important part of a president’s job is crisis management. But Trump reacted chaotically to the corona pandemic, increasing the death toll.
“Biden is a worthy antidote to Trump’s limitless narcissism and chronic chaos.” It offers the troubled nation a “haven of calm and competition”, even if it is not free from mistakes.
USA Today, who is comparatively young at 38, took sides against Trump before the 2016 election, but did not explicitly endorse then-candidate Hillary Clinton.
The “Rolling Stone” also supports Biden
Biden is also supported by the US magazine “Rolling Stone,” as the magazine announced on Monday. For the past four years, one has lived under a man who is categorically unfit to be president, the authors wrote. Fortunately for America, Joe Biden is the opposite of Donald Trump in almost every category.
Biden shows competence, compassion, constancy, integrity and restraint, it is said. Furthermore, Biden has a deep respect for the institutions of American democracy. “He strives to lead the nation as its president, not as its dictator,” the magazine said.
