Democrats consider 'contingency options' for July convention
The Hill ^ | 03 23 2020 | Jonathan Easley

The coronavirus pandemic is forcing the committee charged with planning the Democratic National Convention to consider emergency “contingency options” for the event, scheduled July 13-16 in Milwaukee.

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez has publicly stated that there are no plans to cancel or significantly alter the convention, but the Democratic National Convention Committee acknowledged publicly for the first time on Monday that it is considering backup plans if the coronavirus continues to pose a public health threat this summer.

“As we navigate the unprecedented challenge of responding to the coronavirus, we're exploring a range of contingency options to ensure we can deliver a successful convention without unnecessary risk to public health,” said Katie Peters, the communications director for the committee. “This is a very fluid situation — and the convention is still more than three months away. We are committed to sharing updates with the public in the coming weeks and months as our plans continue to take shape."

The committee declined to elaborate on its contingency plans, but there are a host of unexpected challenges the committee could face in the coming weeks as it seeks to keep the convention in place.

Democratic donors have told The Hill that political fundraising has been frozen in the face of the dual health and economic crises.

My interpretation:

The Rats did all this so they wouldn’t have to have an ultra-embarrassing convention.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Hold it in Times Square, I’m sure NYC will be in fine order.

Comrade DeBlasio is in charge and all is well.

mini mike doomberg owns the DNC now - the convention will be held in his NYC office while he chooses the nominee.

conventions are really made for TV spectacles so this bad for them, without this the Dem candidate may not get the necessary bump in momentum afterwards

They are toast. Nothing they can do. Some kind of fancy, televised online gathering is their best bet. Will be hard to frame it in a way that they don’t look stupid and ineffectual.

I think we all know it’s going to be Andrew Cuomo, after Biden bows out for health reasons.

Dcemocrats will do everything possible to limit Slo-Joe’s public appearances - especially debates with president Trump.

They will hide behind the coronavirus scare to justify it.

Heck - that might even be the reason they cooked up this crisis to begin with!

NOT POSSIBLE. The demonrat Bolshevik party is a risk to public health.
