Washington CNN — The Democratic National Committee is moving ahead with its controversial plan to virtually nominate President Joe Biden ahead of the Democratic convention in Chicago next month – ignoring the growing calls from some of the party’s elected officials to ditch that strategy given the serious ongoing debate about whether the president should continue to seek a second term.
According to an email sent to members of the convention rules committee within that was obtained by CNN, the committee will proceed with a previously scheduled meeting on Friday to deliberate – and begin to set in motion – the steps and timeline for virtually nominating Biden.
The letter notably states that “no virtual voting will begin before August 1” – a new decision that appears aimed at addressing the fury inside the party that was prompted by reporting from CNN and other outlets that some Biden allies have been quietly pushing to fast-track the virtual roll call.
Wednesday’s letter, which makes clear that the DNC is doubling down on its virtual nomination plan, now sets up a key deadline for Democrats by which to resolve questions around Biden’s candidacy. While it could be possible for the party to revisit the results of the vote at the convention in Chicago, the DNC has long made clear that it is committed to locking in their nominee before the convention begins – and specifically before August 7, which, they say, is critical to ensure ballot access in a state like Ohio.

I reckon they’re afraid of shenanigans at an open convention - not to mention they want to lock in the candidate so they can unlock all those frozen donations.
Where’s that MJ popcorn gif ?
Don’t worry they’ve got another shooter ready. Only this time he’ll be aiming at a different target.
Yup—the plot thickens.
Ya gotta wonder if the Deep State has a mole in the White House kitchen.
Biden needs a food taster stat!
Run Dementia Joe, Run.
Yeah. “Hey Jill my ice cream tastes really sour. “
Damn this ice cream ain’t vanilla, it smells like almonds too.
Over Jill’s and Hunter’s dead bodies.
As a stalling tactic.
And the NYSlimes always tells the truth.
Guys, no one else will run.
A nominee that loses in the general is done. Forever. He or she will never get another shot.
And Trump leads.
Nobody wants that nomination from Biden. It would erase their own future.
Can’t we just have virtual Joe? Joe Headroom.
Almost certain that the deal he will step aside, finish his term, pardon Hunter and others, receive a huge payout from the donors for his “memoirs” and keep very silent.
>>”the DNC has long made clear that it is committed to locking in their nominee before the convention begins”
The DNC is committed to doing whatever the party power brokers tell them to do. What that ends up being remains to be seen.
May they madden enough of their base that they’ll have insufficient rat power to pull off their cheat!
You said....”Nobody wants that nomination from Biden. It would erase their own future.”
Money talks.....
Biden must have really been counting on Trump being assassinated.
