The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is pushing to confirm President Joe Biden's nomination for the 2024 presidential election through a virtual roll call as early as July 21. This move has sparked controversy within the Democratic Party, with some House Democrats, including Mark Levin, circulating a letter to delay the nomination process until the convention. Despite public calls for Biden to step down having quieted, private efforts to persuade him to bow out continue. Notable Democrats, including Rep. Susan Wild and Rep. Mike Quigley, have expressed concerns about the DNC's expedited process. Famed Democratic pollster has reportedly shown Biden 'devastating' numbers as part of the effort to get him to quit, according to CNN. The DNC aims to finalize Biden's nomination by the end of July, amid a split within the party over his candidacy, as reported by the New York Times.
