New York Times columnist Ezra Klein, who previously urged President Biden not to seek reelection, has revised his stance following Biden's State of the Union address, which Klein now characterizes as a 'comeback' for Biden's electoral prospects. Klein's initial call for Biden to step aside was met with his own admission of it being 'ill-considered', despite not explicitly stating he was wrong. Klein's commentary, including his self-description as a 'weak kneed pundit', reflects a broader reconsideration of Biden's political position and potential for success, albeit with noted reservations.
