Dozens of Democrats and progressives gathered outside the White House on Saturday afternoon, holding signs with messages like “We love you but it’s time,” “Country over candidacy,” and “You promised us a bridge, don’t give us a wall.” The group chanted “Pass the Torch” in a call for President Biden to step aside in the presidential race to make way for another Democrat to face former President Trump in November.
Despite the rainy weather, the rally featured impassioned speakers emphasizing the importance of defeating Trump and selecting the strongest candidate to do so. One speaker stressed the need for Biden to pass the torch to the next generation of Democrats, stating that they were committed to stopping Donald Trump by uniting the party and supporting Democratic candidates.
The speaker highlighted the potential unity that could come from seeing the current leader of the party relinquish power for the greater good. The rally aimed to push for a change in the Democratic candidate for the upcoming election, with a focus on finding a candidate who could effectively challenge Trump and lead the party to victory.
