Step Aside Joe campaign responds to Joe Biden Ending Presidential Run

by RootsAction.org on July 21, 2024

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Sunday, July 21, 2024


We’re glad to see that Joe Biden has finally ended his presidential run. When we launched our “Step Aside Joe” campaign 20 months ago, we’d hoped he would withdraw early enough for there to be an open primary process like in 2020, allowing the Democratic Party to consolidate behind a candidate strong enough to repel Donald Trump’s neofascism. While time is now short, we still hope that the Democrats will find a candidate who will animate the same kind of multigenerational, multiracial coalition of working people and grassroots activists that defeated Trump in 2020.
