Biden will accept nomination at the Democratic convention in Milwaukee; delegates told to stay home

Wisconsin is a key battleground state for the Democrats to win in November. President Donald Trump won the state by a slim margin in 2016.

Former Vice President Joe Biden will accept the Democratic presidential nomination at a nearly all-virtual convention in Milwaukee in August, the Democratic National Committee said Wednesday. Delegates were told to stay home because of health concerns.

"After consulting with public health officials about the COVID-19 pandemic, convention organizers are announcing today that they have determined state delegations should not plan to travel to Milwaukee and should plan to conduct their official convention business remotely," the DNC said in a statement.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, signaled in May that the party was likely to host a virtual convention because of the coronavirus pandemic so as not to put "stress on the public health system, nor put the delegates and others that come to the convention in harm's way."

The U.S. recorded a record number of new coronavirus cases for a single day on Wednesday, with 36,358 new positive tests reported nationwide, according to NBC News' data tracking.

Recent data from the state Department of Health Services suggests a steady increase in cases in Wisconsin. The department reported 25,763 coronavirus cases as of Wednesday.

Without blow and hookers, what’s the point of being a delegate?

The RATS don’t want a 1968 spectacle in Milwaukee. They have no control over Antifa and BLM so this is their attempt to prevent another DNC as they had in Chicago that year.

It’s also a good way to limit Slow Joe’s public appearances. Such BS. Now it should be obvious the Democrats had a lot to do with the coronavirus narrative. They want mail-in voting to be the primary way of submitting ballots this election. It’s their best method of cheating on a massive scale.

Good thing the dems called off the convention in Milwaukee. Hillary probably still can’t figure out how to get to Wisconsin, and NORAD would have to have a “Hillary Tracking Project” so the media could identify her location.

“...Now, it should be obvious the Democrats had a lot to do with the coronavirus narrative....”

That PIAPS-loving Fauxi funded the development of it. They likely colluded with the CCP on the deliberate release of it. It was their “Plan B” after “Plan A” (impeachment) failed. They’ve now moved on to “Plan C”: Riots & mayhem by their “flying monkeys” They should be publicly hanged for it.

It will be a coronation. I am sure that Obama, not Biden, is choosing the VP nominee, for no one thinks Biden will last even one term.

If Biden ever makes it he will be the first PINO - president in name only.

Because he is NOT mentally fit to face a large crowd, or loud noise...

He will become more confused and not know what he is saying...

He could become angry and hateful and mean...that happens in dementia and he is indeed in a stage of dementia...right now they are controlling him, confusion is difficult for patients in this stage..

His wife wants this position not Joe...

He could accept the nomination from his basement. Why even go to Milwaukee if there is no physical convention?

I just hope Biden is OK. Swallowing a bottle of Prevagen daily can be brutal on your stomach.

He's currently NINO. Nominee in name only.

It's amazing the party fields enough brain dead delegates to advance this addled geezer.
