Joe Biden Gets Nasty Surprise Right Outside His Window

Democrats who identify as protestors staged a demonstration outside the White House on Saturday, demanding that President Joe Biden withdraw from the presidential race against Republican contender Donald Trump.

The group behind the protest is Pass the Torch, a new Democratic political action committee created as “a grassroots campaign to call on President Biden to step aside as the nominee for President and support the candidate best able to beat Trump.”

The group broadcast television ads on Friday in Delaware, the home state of the president, and the Washington, D.C. region urging Biden to resign.

By Saturday afternoon, the gathering was yelling “Hey, hey! Ho ho! Thank you Joe, it’s time to go!” in front of the White House. David Weigel of Semafor uploaded video of the demonstration on X, the previous Twitter platform.

“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,” said Aaron Regunberg, a Pass the Torch member, in a statement.

Regunberg added, “Tens of thousands of Democratic voters have made phone calls, sent emails, and held actions in battleground states through Pass the Torch. But the President still hasn’t gotten the message. That’s why we’re organizing something that’s harder to ignore—a demonstration in front of the White House. Because we have not resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency. We still have time to avert catastrophe and change course.”

The organization disseminated their own social media posters featuring demonstrators urging Biden to step aside in light of his “falling poll numbers” and the potential of a Trump presidency.
