In a bombshell ad that’s making waves, the Pass the Torch PAC is raising the question on everyone’s minds: Can President Biden win the 2024 election? The ad, which aired nationally, is backed by a super PAC that’s anti-Trump and seems to be feeling the same way about Biden. Ouch, that’s gotta hurt!

Featuring a clip of former President John F. Kennedy’s stirring inaugural address, the ad sends a clear message: “It’s time for a new generation of leaders to take the reins.” And who might that new leader be, you ask? None other than Rep. Dean Phillips! The Minnesota Democrat is ready to take the torch and run with it, even adopting the iconic phrase “pass the torch” as his campaign slogan. Talk about riding the wave of history!
But why the sudden push for change? Well, the ad points to a New York Times-Siena College poll showing that former President Donald Trump is leading Biden in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Michigan. Yikes! According to the ad, the numbers don’t lie, and it’s clear that Trump is winning – so it’s time to shake things up and pass that torch to a fresh face.
And who’s behind the scenes pulling the strings on this game-changing ad? None other than Steve Schmidt, a top adviser to the late Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential run. Schmidt may not be directly affiliated with Phillips’ campaign, but he’s definitely got a bone to pick with Trump and seems to be cooking up a strategy to make sure the former president comes up short in 2024. It’s all shaping up to be a real political showdown!
Despite the polls showing Biden in the lead over other Democratic candidates, including Phillips and Marianne Williamson, it’s clear that the Pass the Torch PAC isn’t taking any chances. With the winds of change blowing and the specter of a Trump comeback looming large, the stage is set for an epic battle for the soul of America in 2024. Will Biden hold onto the torch, or will a new face take the helm? Stay tuned to find out!
