The Philadelphia Inquirer published an editorial calling for Donald Trump to withdraw from the presidential race, citing his perceived unfitness for office and his criminal history.
The editorial board and various social media users emphasized Trump’s performance in the first presidential debate and contrasted him unfavorably with President Joe Biden, despite acknowledging Biden’s less-than-stellar performance.
The editorial has garnered support from a range of individuals and organizations, including prominent journalists and political figures, who agree that Trump’s withdrawal would be in the best interest of the country.
Below are a collection of reactions from the anti-Trump crowd on Twitter.

When Biden drops out, Trump will have made the biggest strategic error in Presidential election history: agreeing to debate early, giving the Dems plenty of time to pick a White-Night candidate
Imaging if this debate performance had happened in September as planned — there would have been no time to field anyone team!
The Democrats planned ALL OF THIS — they tried four different trials and after that failed they put Joe up for slaughter.
Dems are hard core!

What a surprise, a northeastern liberal newspaper mindlessly supports Joe Biden despite the horrendous spectacle at the debate. https://t.co/lWORLyqMfZ
