ORLANDO SENTINEL: Endorsement: Joe Biden for president, because he can get us out of Trump's mess [View all]

More than a year ago, the Orlando Sentinel published an editorial saying we wouldn’t endorse Donald Trump for re-election. We facetiously left the door open to changing our mind if, say, he cured cancer.

Not only did the president fail to cure cancer, he botched a health crisis so badly that he made American No. 1 again, this time in total coronavirus cases (pushing 6 million) and COVID-19 deaths (180,000).

Donald Trump has lived down to our lowest expectations since that non-endorsement. It didn’t seem possible at the time, but Trump has gotten worse, a constant chaos president dragging the once-proud Republican Party down with him.

Biden is honorable, faithful and truthful. He has the emotional capacity for empathy and understanding. He’s a person of faith. He cares more for his country than himself.

-snip-

We endorse Joe Biden for president, and we implore Floridians to consider him as a balm to treat the wounds this current president has inflicted on the United States.
