DNC to Nominate Biden and Harris Via Virtual Roll Call Before August Convention Amid Ohio Deadline

May 28, 2024, 05:08 PM

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is set to nominate President Joe Biden as the party’s presidential nominee through a 'virtual roll call' ahead of its August convention in Chicago. This move comes as Ohio lawmakers delayed changing a state deadline that conflicted with the party's convention schedule. The virtual proceedings will also certify Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party nominee for vice president. The DNC aims to complete the process before Ohio's August 7 ballot certification deadline. Democrats have changed the convention to accommodate this process.
