President Joe Biden doesn’t deserve praise for dropping his reelection campaign. He deserves blame for getting us into this mess.

“An actual hero” wrote New York Times columnist and podcaster Ezra Klein of President Joe Biden on X, within 30 minutes of the president’s announcement Sunday that he was — finally — ending his run for a second term. “This is what America First looks like when it’s a lived ethos, rather than a mask for narcissism and ambition,” added Klein.
Klein was hardly the only notable liberal to rush to hagiography for the president.

“In a world increasingly filled with leaders who have changed laws, killed people, and stormed parliaments to cling to power, Joe Biden just flipped the script,” wrote former Obama adviser and “Pod Save the World” host Ben Rhodes.
“Mr. Biden has spent a lifetime trying to do right by the nation, and he did so in the most epic of ways when he chose to end his campaign for re-election,” wrote historian Jon Meacham in the New York Times on Monday.
