00:00Pass the torch. Pass the torch. Pass the torch.
00:07A small but growing chorus that's fast gaining momentum.
00:12We are here today to ask, to beg, to tell President Biden that it is time to pass the
00:20torch. A grassroots political movement calling for
00:25change at the top of the Democratic Party ticket for President.
00:30This is an existential election, right? That's not just a talking point. That is real. Democracy
00:36is on the ballot. It's nothing against him. I support everything
00:41that he's done in his four years, but it's just become very evident that he cannot lead
00:45this party anymore. More than 10% of the Democratic Party caucus
00:50has now called for the President to stand aside. The machinations over his political
00:55future playing out in public as he isolates with COVID-19.
01:00For a career politician who waited more than four decades to take the presidency, and one
01:05who's known for proving his doubters wrong, this isn't an easy decision for Joe Biden,
01:10and one he's unlikely to make quickly, despite the growing ruptures within his party.
01:16Thank you Joe, it's time to go. Hey, hey. Ho, ho.
01:20The President's maintaining he'll return to the campaign trail next week, but with critical
01:25funders reportedly withdrawing, the path to victory is looking shaky.
