Democratic Super PAC Urges Biden to 'Pass the Torch' on July 19, 2024 Amid Campaign Concerns

Jul 20, 2024, 12:05 AM

A new Democratic Super PAC has released a blistering ad urging President Joe Biden to 'pass the torch,' as discussions intensify about his potential withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. The ad, set to debut on Biden's favorite show on July 19, 2024, reflects growing concerns within the Democratic Party about Biden's ability to continue his campaign. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has emphasized the need for an open process to choose the party’s next nominee if Biden steps aside before the upcoming DNC convention. Meanwhile, the DNC plans to nominate Biden for president in a 'virtual roll call' ahead of the in-person convention. Some Democrats are advocating for Vice President Kamala Harris to take Biden's place, while others suggest an open convention to select a new nominee.
