DNC could nominate Biden virtually this month — as critics try to slam brakes

MILWAUKEE — President Biden could secure the Democratic nomination for a potential second term as early as this month thanks to electronic voting by delegates, The Post has learned — a move seen by critics as trying to shove him through the process.

Electronic delegate voting had been discussed before the embattled 81-year-old president’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump on June 27.

But details about the timeline are only taking shape now, and the perception among some party stalwarts is that his camp wants to hurry things along — while critics try to slam the brakes on the process to allow more time to persuade him to step aside.

A formal start to online voting has not yet been scheduled, two Democratic National Committee sources told The Post — but one said that the timing of a vote has been discussed internally as possibly beginning within days, sometime in “mid-July.”

A group of House Democrats who want Biden to end his bid for a second term are now circulating a letter requesting that the vote be held later.

They say they have heard chatter that the voting could begin as early as July 21, earlier than the July 29-Aug. 5 range reported by Axios, which published an unsigned copy of the draft letter.

“There is no legal justification for this extraordinary and unprecedented action which would effectively accelerate the nomination process by nearly a month,” says the draft letter, which emerged one day after former PresidentTrump formally secured the Republican presidential nomination.

The electronic voting plan was originally devised so that the Democratic ticket will be formalized in time for the Aug. 7 deadline in Ohio for its November ballot.

But Biden critics argue that themove prevents fuller deliberation over the president’s mental and physical health ahead of...

One HUUUUGE advantage the dems would have from a Zoom convention is having Joe deliver a Max Headroom TV acceptance speech instead of risking a meltdown in the convention hall.

Even if Joe is reading from a teleprompter during a live speech, the risk of another off the rails delivery on national TV in front of all of the delegates has to worry the backroom leadership of the dem party.

I think it is very strange that the same media that for years thought his gaffes were amusing turned on him so rapidly after the debate. He didn’t change overnight. They have been covering for him for years. So what changed?..

What changed is that all of a sudden the whole country saw on live TV just how bad he had gotten.

I think the MSM hacks really believed that by giving him the questions he would get ahead of time and surprising Trump with hardball questions they could make Biden look good enough so they could keep covering for him up until the election. Remember every one of them is an anti-Trumper. They knew he was not ever going to last 4 years but would rather have a succubus -- Kamala Roundheels -- than DJT.

But after the entire world saw that "debate" they knew the game was over. And they all at once ran for the exit, hoping to make us believe they had been fooled as much as we were. Of course we knew they were in on the charade all along, but a lot of dems are gullible enough to believe them.

Throw in the fact that every dem contender knows that in 2028 there will be no incumbent running, and no strong candidate is willing to take any chances in 2020.

They need the extra days to keep counting the votes.
