The New York Times editorial board called for the Republican Party to reject former President Donald Trump as its presidential candidate on Thursday, branding him as “dangerous” and “unfit to lead.”
The editorial comes on the heels of two editorial board essays that called for Democratic candidate, President Joe Biden, to step aside due to concerns over his mental fitness, and just days before Trump is expected to accept the GOP nomination at the Republican National Convention.
In the article, the Times’ board described Trump as “dangerous” and a man who “loathes the laws” foundational to the United States.
A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the Republic. It is a chilling choice against this national moment.
The editorial harshly criticizes Trump’s departure from the principles once upheld by iconic Republican leaders, lamenting the shift towards a party it argued is now seemingly dominated by Trump’s personal agenda.
