"It's hard to envision that," Biden told MSNBC's Brian Williams when asked whether he could see prominent Democrats from around the county gathering in an arena for the convention, which is scheduled for July.

Conventions, primaries and elections have been held during times of national crisis in the past, said Biden, who said officials should listen to the scientists when making decisions.

"The fact is, it may have to be different," Biden said. "My guess is, there's going to be a great deal more absentee balloting, we used to call it, but paper ballots." He also said that the situation could change by then.

I'd say a BIDEN/CUOMO ticket; but since SLO JOE promised to have a woman candidate, it's BIDEN/CLINTON

There will be no Dem convention. HRC will be nominated by Skype and Zoom.

If Biden makes it as far as the Presidential debates the DNC will lobby the Debate Commission for prerecorded answers from Biden to debate questions.

Seems fitting as the Democrats don't actually have a physical candidate.

Sure Mr Biden, anything to avoid a horrible public exposure so the public can REALLY see how weak you really are.

Notice not a peep from Commie Bernie either from him, his, or the media ?

Probably already made his deal and “they are re cedar’n the lake estate and yacht

Commie Bernie is the lynch pin in the dems mind
They need his peeps BUT no convention and write in votes eliminated any need of Commie Bernie UNTIL his peeps find out their vote was eff’d with

Then you have Chicago ‘68
