In a letter published Wednesday on Medium, an anonymous group of Biden’s campaign staffers demanded the president call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns that not shifting his policy on the issue could hurt his 2024 chances.


“Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict,” the Medium letter read.

“It is not enough to merely be the alternative to Donald Trump,” the campaigners continued. “The campaign has to shift the feeling in the pits of voters’ stomachs, the same feeling that weighs on us every day as we fight for your reelection. The only way to do that is to call for a ceasefire.”

      Yes, and states that the authenticity of those behind it were confirmed. So it’s not “claims to be from 17 staffers”, we know for a fact that it IS from 17 staffers. It is only anonymous to protect them from getting attacked from AIPAC and related groups, as they have been doing to anyone that criticizes Israel and has any prominence.

        Where does it say that the identities were confirmed? I’ve read the entire article like 3 times looking for it and can’t seem to find it.

          Did you not read the comment of mine you previously replied to? Where I quoted from a Politico article?
