Democrats Set to Nominate Biden for Second Term via Virtual Vote by Month-End

Jul 16, 2024, 10:15 AM

President Joe Biden is set to receive the official nomination for a second term from fellow Democrats via a virtual vote in late July. Despite internal party turmoil and doubts about his candidacy, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) aims to confirm Biden's nomination by month-end before the national convention. Biden's strategists are working to avoid any possibility of a rebellion during the convention, ensuring he is the confirmed nominee even before it begins. The virtual roll call is planned to run out the clock on Biden's critics, giving them as little as two more weeks to challenge his nomination. This strategy was reported by The New York Times and Axios.
