The USA Today editorial board has chosen sides in the 2020 presidential election, dropping all pretenses of objective journalism to announce its endorsement of Sleepy Joe Biden.
In its first ever presidential endorsement – after coming out against Donald Trump in 2016, but stopping short of endorsing Hillary Clinton – the paper’s staff declared Biden “offers a shaken nation a harbor of calm and competence.”
Now, two weeks until Election Day, we suggest you consider a variation of the question Republican Ronald Reagan asked voters when he ran for president in 1980: Is America better off now than it was four years ago?
(In fact, a recent Gallup poll found 56 percent of Americans say they’re currently better off than they were four years ago.)
“Beset by disease, economic suffering, a racial reckoning and natural disasters fueled by a changing climate, the nation is dangerously off course,” the paper’s editors wrote.
USA Today also claimed Biden could have saved the nation from coronavirus, saying, “There is little doubt that Biden would have handled the crisis more capably.”
“A Biden administration would follow the science and build trust in emerging vaccines,” states the paper.
The paper’s endorsement also highlights several Biden “flaws,” including his old age (“like the November foliage in New England, [he’s] somewhat past peak”), his support of the Iraq war, which left thousands dead including US soldiers, his haranguing of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas during his 1993 confirmation hearing and his frequent gaffes (“He is capable of cringeworthy gaffes, and his sentences can wander off into uncharted territory”).
Despite slamming Trump’s character, upbringing, and coronavirus response, while putting Biden on a pedestal, the paper ludicrously claims it would cover a potential Biden administration fairly:
“Will this endorsement have any effect on what you read about the presidential campaign in USA TODAY’s news reports? No. Will it cause the Editorial Board to pull its punches if Biden were to become president? Also no.”
“We may never endorse a presidential nominee again. In fact, we hope we’ll never have to,” adds the paper.
Judging by the enthusiasm on the campaign trail, we estimate USA Today‘s endorsement will be just as ineffective as their 2016 hit piece on Trump.
