Biden Pulls TV Ads After Trump Shooting and Amid Mounting Calls for His Withdrawal from Election

HeadlineJul 15, 2024

Biden’s team says it is pulling its television ads and pausing outgoing campaign communications following the shooting. This comes amid mounting pressure for Biden to end his presidential campaign. Nineteen congressional Democrats have now called on Biden to step aside. Before the attack on Saturday, Biden was reportedly grilled on a call with centrist Democrats over his plans; the call was described to Axios as a “disaster.”

The youth climate group Sunrise Movement publicly called on Biden to step aside Friday, saying the climate risk is too great. “Another Trump presidency would cause catastrophic and irreversible damage to our climate,” the group warned.
