DNC Plans Virtual Roll Call to Expedite Biden Nomination in Two Weeks

Jul 16, 2024, 12:18 PM

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is reportedly planning to expedite the nomination process for President Joe Biden by moving towards a virtual roll call before the convention. This strategy aims to minimize the time available for Biden's critics within the party to push for his replacement, giving them as little as two weeks. The DNC's initial justification for this move was Ohio's August 7 deadline for ballot access, but Ohio has since changed its law, rendering this reason irrelevant. Despite the change, the DNC is proceeding with the plan, which has sparked controversy and opposition among some delegates. Critics argue that this approach could further divide the party and fuel conspiracy theories.
