Democrats Fighting Over ‘Virtual Roll Call’ To Nominate Joe Biden Before Convention

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING The Democratic National Committee should drop its plan to nominate President Joe Biden for reelection before the Democratic Party’s convention next month, Rep. Lloyd Doggett said Wednesday, as the DNC said the early nomination plan wouldn’t move as quickly as some Democrats feared. Doggett is one of several House Democrats worried that the DNC’s plan to nominate Biden via “virtual roll call” before the convention is an effort to cut off debate over the president’s fitness for the job. But Ohio lawmakers have since changed the law, leading some Democrats to question the virtual roll call plan amid concerns that Biden might not be the best candidate to face Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. “We won’t be sending the letter at this time.” Doggett said through a spokesperson he was glad the DNC wouldn’t force a vote this month, but he still opposed a virtual roll call ahead of the convention.
