President Joe Biden was widely criticized for a lackluster debate performance in his first face-off with former President Donald Trump last month — he flubbed his words, trailed off mid-sentence and appeared to stare off into space. In response, The Economist argued that the president should withdraw from the electoral race with a story that used an image of the presidential seal attached to a walker.
While the magazine stated "Mr. Biden deserves to be remembered for his accomplishments and his decency rather than his decline," at least one prominent group of disability rights advocates feared the publication's illustration suggests that being old and/or disabled means that a person is unqualified to run a country.
