In a tumultuous aftermath of the recent debate, President Joe Biden is now facing extraordinary calls from media outlets to consider abandoning his reelection campaign. The backlash against Biden's performance has led to a wave of criticism and concerns over his ability to lead the country.

One notable voice of support came from MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-host, Mika Brzezinski, who delivered a 15-minute essay on air, denouncing the "screaming, mocking, jeering" headlines and editorials suggesting Biden's exit. Brzezinski expressed her belief in Biden's resilience, highlighting his history in overcoming personal and political challenges.

However, prominent media outlets like The New York Times and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution have urged Biden to step aside. The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, emphasized the necessity of recognizing the demands of the moment, while The Washington Post suggested that Biden should engage in soul-searching.

This call for Biden's departure has not been limited to newspaper editorials. Chris Whipple, author of "The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House," described the recent criticism as a "collective nervous breakdown."

On "Morning Joe," co-host Joe Scarborough went as far as suggesting that Biden consider abandoning the campaign, drawing a parallel to a hypothetical scenario in a corporate setting. Scarborough's remarks led to some uncomfortable moments on air, but it's worth noting that he was absent from Monday's show.

Brzezinski, opening the show on her own, admitted that Biden's debate performance was terrible, blaming his staff for overworking him. However, she reiterated her belief in Biden's capabilities, emphasizing the catastrophic consequences for the country if he were to be counted out.

The New York Times editorial board referred to Biden as "the shadow of a great public servant" and urged him not to continue running for reelection. Various columnists echoed this sentiment, expressing concern over Biden's age-related issues. The Times' opinion pieces, which highlight alternate suggestions such as a Democratic ticket led by Vice President Kamala Harris, have been met with skepticism in the White House.

Despite the mounting pressure and doubt, Biden's campaign has pushed back against perceived biases in media coverage. The president thrives on being underestimated and is fueled by his desire to counter the strength of the Trump movement.

As the debate fallout continues, Biden now faces the task of regaining his footing and erasing the impression that he wandered into senselessness on stage. The Philadelphia Inquirer, in contrast to other outlets, has placed the focus on President Donald Trump's exit from the stage, stating that the country would be better off without him.

It remains to be seen how President Biden will navigate these calls to abandon his reelection campaign. As the pressure mounts, the upcoming days will prove crucial in shaping the path forward for his administration.
