Petition Site Calls On Biden To “Pass The Torch, Joe”

July 8, 2024 Democrats, Joe Biden

A new group, “Pass the Torch, Joe” has formed to circulate a petition among Democratic voters that urges President Biden to step aside from the 2024 race. “Pass the Torch, Joe” is made up of Democratic activists, organizers and voters who are focused on beating former President Trump in November, according to its website.

The petition targets Democratic lawmakers and delegates ahead of the Democratic National Committee in August to call on Biden to step down. And it includes a pledge for signers to say they will unite behind a new ticket and do everything in their power to beat Trump.

The group’s organizers include Rhode Island state Sen. Tiara Mack, former Rhode Island state Rep. Aaron Regunberg, and organizers in swing states including Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Read the full article. The petition site includes quotes from the House Democrats who have publicly called for Biden to step aside. There’s also a quote from Nancy Pelosi, who has not.
