Democrat Voters Tell Joe Biden To 'Pass the Torch' in New Grassroots Ad
Newsweak ^ | 7/20/24 | James Bickerton

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."

Biden got the votes in the primary. If we could take back votes, the GOP voters would take back GWB votes.

For most of my 59 years the GOP has been portrayed as a divided party. The democrats have always been in lock step with one another.

Now, I am having the time of my life as they get a huge taste of their own medicine.

The GOP hasn’t been this united since Ronald Reagan.

Trump 2024!!

Democrats wasted millions in a rigged primary to help the ancient one across the finish line.

Now they want to disenfranchise all of those voters because they are losing.

Why bother having a primary at all from here on out? Just wait till a few months before the election and then anoint someone.

And they complain Republicans want a king.

In this case, they literally mean "torch," as in "fire," since Biden was born before the invention of the electric light bulb.

So when will an AI algorithm determine our leaders.
It appears that the polls are determining our leaders at this very moment.

So you mean to tell me that when Biden was winning the primaries hands down. Though unappposed.
Biden is now the worst choice in the universe.
If he sucks so much now and everyone hates him.
Turn how in the hell did he win by more votes than Obama just a few years ago.
Obama was the most beloved president since the dawn of time.

“... pass the touch Joe.”
