Editorial: The New York Times

• President Biden's decision not to run for the 2024 presidential election could increase his party’s chances of preventing Donald Trump's return to the presidency.
• Biden's stepping aside allows Democrats to focus more on the blatant moral and temperamental shortcomings of Trump.
• Trump has flouted the law and the Constitution and his despicable term in office has done lasting damage to the people and the project of America.
• Biden's successor needs to address voters' concerns with better policies and exhibit a keen interest in their opinions.
• Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him in the election.
• Choosing Harris would be a reasonable path, but party delegates should have a say in this decision.

Conclusion: Biden’s successor, be it Harris or any other Democrat, should convince voters they would emulate Biden’s approach to working with the Congress and adhering to the values that have long defined America.
