Former Vice President Joe Biden will accept the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination at a nearly all-virtual convention in Milwaukee this August, but delegates were told to stay home because of health concerns, the Democratic National Committee said on Wednesday.

"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, had already signaled in May that party would likely host a virtual convention amid the coronavirus pandemic as to not put "stress on the public health system, nor put the delegates and others that come to the convention in harm's way."

That won't be a very good look when compared to the Republican convention featuring REAL people. Also this will definitely piss off voters in Wisconsin who are now denied the economic shot in the arm of hosting a convention. Absent virtual delegates will spend NO MONEY in their state.

The DEMS didn’t want delegates to see BIDEN in person or have him publicly accept the nomination.

Funny thing is they’ll probably get a bigger TV crowd just to see how the DEMs are going to pull this off

The way things are going, the nursing staff will have to accept the nomination for him to ensure he is not out in public.

He’s offered to accept the Presidency in November too, and told the voters to stay home. Safety is most important. /s

I got a better idea: “Delegates go away, far away, to some other country, any other country.” We’ll help you pack...

Also a way to avoid delegates getting together to make a back room deal to strip the nomination from him and to nominate someone else.
