A campaign group made up of Democrats urging Joe Biden to stand down from November's election has released a new 30-second campaign advert arguing the president needs to step aside to "save democracy."
The video was released by Pass the Torch, Joe, a group that says Republican nominee Donald Trump is "an existential threat" meaning "we need the strongest possible ticket to maximize our chances of defeating him."
Concern about the age and mental capacity of 81-year-old Biden went into fever pitch following his first presidential debate against Trump on June 27, during which the Democratic incumbent at several points appeared to lose his train of thought mid-sentence. In response he has faced calls to step out of the race from prominent Democrats, including members of Congress and actor George Clooney, who argue a different nominee would stand a better chance of defeating Trump in November.
The Pass the Torch video features seven individuals who each read one line of a statement praising Biden, but urging him to stand down from the 2024 race, which they argue will maximize the Democratic chances of beating Trump.
They say: "President Biden, you saved democracy in 2020. Now you have the chance to do it again. It's time to pass the torch and let us choose a new nominee. One who can bring new energy, new hope and make sure Donald Trump never gets near the White House again. Our country's future is in your hands so please be the leader we know you are, pass the touch Joe."

Libtards are funding ads against their own candidate. You gotta love it.
That’s not a “torch”! That’s an ice cream cone! Hrumpf! Hrumpf!
unless the ad is on morning joe, dementia joe will never see or hear about it ...
Why didn’t they do this 6 months ago? If he’s not fit to run, he’s not fit 😤 to be President.
3 months ago Dems were SCREAMING not to bring up bidens cognitive failures in the Hur hearing
Now they want biden to go based on what we have been saying for 5 years and dems said we were spreading a conspiracy theory. EVERY rime dems say that we are proven right in the end . They are liars.
Nothing the left does is grassroots or spontaneous. It’s all focus grouped and broadcast to the tribe. Rush was a master of the montage. Bongino is getting in on the act.
There is no way 50 different talking heads can come up with the same exact catchphrase every single day.

There is nothing sleazier than telling a person how much you admire them while you stab them in the back.
“Grassroots”
The lawns of Beverly Hills and upscale Los Angeles are as close as that gets.
You do not seem to understand. They have to kill Democracy in order to save it... just like they need to use genocide to save people.
Of course they want a change. Many of the DEM voters are not enthusiastic about voting for Biden.
Leftists have not changed since the days of the Hitler-Stalin pact.
First they hated Hitler.
Then they loved Hitler.
Then they hated Hitler.
...and they howled at anybody who couldn’t keep up....
Lol.
Doublespeak - deliberately euphemistic, ambiguous, or obscure language.
I think it’s like others have said,
The biden’s ..not just Jo,have to much dirt on all the right people.
Not surprising since they are brazen and corrupt as the day is long.
At the end of the day there is no honor amongst thieves if it’s their carcass on the line. and they would sell out their own grandmother to spare themselves.
Nice world they have created.

It’s always nice to see lefties fighting with each other.
Exactly.
Hillary Clinton has grey roots, not grass roots.
Darn those proof readers again.
