DNC to Confirm Biden's Nomination Next Week Amid Party Divisions

Jul 16, 2024, 01:17 PM

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is preparing to formally confirm President Joe Biden's nomination for the Democratic Party's presidential candidate next week, according to the New York Times. This move comes despite internal divisions within the party and doubts about Biden's candidacy. Some Senate Democrats and House members, including Rep. Susan Wild, have expressed concerns and are pushing for more time to consider alternatives. The DNC's decision to proceed with a virtual roll call aims to solidify Biden's position before the convention, forcing skeptics to either support him or publicly oppose his nomination. Biden is expected to secure the nomination by the end of the month.
