Pass the Torch, a new grassroots group calling for Biden to step out of the 2024 presidential race, held a rally outside the White House on Saturday.
“Thank you, Joe; it’s time to go!” the group chanted outside the gates. Organizers say approximately 100 people were in attendance.
President Biden has faced intense pressure from members of his own party to forfeit the Democratic nomination since his disastrous debate performance at the end of June. As of Saturday, 35 Democrats have publicly called for Biden to step aside.
In a statement issued before the rally, Pass the Torch explained their movement is grounded in concerns that Biden is unable to defeat former President Trump, characterizing November as an “existential election.”
“We need a presidential nominee who has the best chance to beat Trump, and an increasingly large majority of Democrats believe that President Biden is not that candidate and should step aside,” wrote Aaron Regunberg, a steering committee member of the organization. “That’s why we’re organizing something that’s harder to ignore—a demonstration in front of the White House.”
“Biden has done an amazing job the past four years,” Claudia Nachega, a 19-year-old attendee from Maryland told The Hill. “I also think that with Biden’s falling poll numbers, it’s definitely time to have a new Democratic nominee that we can be sure that will win in November.
“That’s why I showed up today to ask Joe Biden to pass the torch so that young people especially can rally behind a new candidate.”
Some, including the progressive wing of the Democratic party, have characterized those calling for the president to drop out as Democratic elites.

The Torch was Bob Torricelli’s nickname. He was the loser NJ Senator who was trailing so badly in polls, the RATS replaced him very late in the race.
A wasted effort. Trump is at his Rehoboth beach house in Deleware.
Grass roots my arse. NOTHINg is spontaneous when it comes to the commie rats.
“Drop the ember into the wet grass!”
New ads push Biden to drop out of the race, funded by mysterious new super PAC
Pass the Torch PAC was created July 9, according to records from the Federal Election Commission, 12 days after Biden’s disastrous debate against Donald Trump, during which the president appeared to lose his train of thought and failed to counter his opponent’s statements.
The real problem is Joe Biden is not any sort of hero. He was a foot soldier for other Dem hacks in support of various bad projects: Destroy Bork, destroy Thomas, boost abortions paid by tax money....
He won’t have a place of honor in history unless we placidly let him.
Why not get him prosecuted for his child sniffing problems. And the sexual assault cases in the past just allowed to drift by. And the influence peddling for money involving Hunter and Joe in concert.
Why in the world would Brandon drop out? Somebody explain it to me. He’s 81, his bowels and probably his kidneys are not functioning right all the time, he can’t run upstairs or down like he used too, the only thing he’s addicted too is power, everyone waites on him hand and foot, yada yada yada! He old losing his mind and dying. What the effing hell is in it for him besides an old folks home and bed baths and enemas. Good God people what’s in it for him to quit?
At least he goes out fighting. He will lose but dead is dead. Ain’t no one walking out of here. Democrats built him and I hope they choke to death over the lousy old bastard. He got a lot our boys and girls in uniform hurt and killed. IMO
“Grass Roots”.
Dr. Jill concurs with your differential diagnosis....
Trump? Is that you, Joe? Go back to bed.
Anyone see Hillary in that group? Maybe behind a mask?
LOL! He probably spent the day at the beach ogling the babes in bikinis.
PASS THE TORCH (or whatever), DAMMIT!

I can’t believe I pulled a Biden and named Biden Trump! LOL!
As long as she keeps him upright her gravy bowel is full. Hell maybe she’ll have a taxidermist stuff him and Mount him on wheels. She can pull him out of the closet and say “come on Joe you’re doing a great job and everyone loves you, you useless old bastard”.
They should have been chanting, “Pass the Gas!”
Never trust a fart. First thing you learn at 70.
At least I didn’t call Kamala Harris Vice President Trump. Well . . maybe as bad.
