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.

Hillary lost twice, I believe she’d take the nomination IN A SECOND if she saw an opening.
Shhhh... Let’s all be real quiet while the democrats destroy their party. Just sit back and enjoy watching their version of the “democracy” their always talking about saving.

Hell, at this point no democrat may EVER get another "shot".
It is very inconsiderate of the party leaders to leave the nominee name in doubt.
It takes a lot of work to generate all those phony mail in ballots and now those poor fraudsters don’t know what name to use.
There are other reports earlier today saying they put the breaks on this. What is the latest?
The Dems are not happy. So far, Biden is resisting. Maybe his move is to retreat to Delaware and blame it on covid so he can hide in the basement until the Convention in Chicago.
Hey Democrats! Welcome to the “democracy’ you created.
Long COVID?
Down the rabbit hole we go of this insane news cycle. Further and further down.
The streaming movie/mini-series of all of this needs to be 20 parts. Man, the twists and turns, not to mention juicy tell all books by political writers. We are living through some of the most historical moments right now.
I used to work in a chemistry lab that had a sign on the wall that read .. "If you smell almonds, you're already dead."
That ‘s Joe. Him not around would solve a lot of Dem problems.
I think I’m siding with Joey and Jill on this one.
I got more contempt for the Democrat Party Establishment and the media who are trying to nullify the voters who voted in the primaries than a senile old pervert and grifter.
This is.
They have to get him as the official nominee so they can get his money. BUT... Chomo Joe’s ego will not allow him to quit. I suspect this kung flu diagnosis is just a ploy to hide in his basement until he is reinstalled. It worked for 2020 and, as he admitted, he has the most sophisticated vote fraud organization in history. 20 million illegals and non citizens will show up bigly to “vote” for the chomo.
So.... The Deep State is not only willing to kill the opposition party candidate, they are willing to kill their own candidate.
With the left the end justifies the means. Joe is a big pain in their 🐴 right now. States have laws about who gets on the ballot. Time is running out and sometimes changing to another candidate requires a death of the original. Just saying.
They want us to believe that they are accelerating the nominating process in order to lock Biden in ASAP, perhaps to avoid a floor fight at the convention.
I'm suggesting that the Democrat party insiders want to nominate Biden sooner because they can then force Biden out and take advantage of DNC rules to replace the duly nominated candidate with a candidate of the DNC leadership's choice. This candidate would then appear at the DNC Convention as the party's duly chosen candidate.
If they cancel the virtual nomination and wait for the DNC Convention, chaos will result from a brokered convention. The DNC elite aren't doing this to avoid a brokered convention, they are doing to lock out the delegates from the decision entirely.

It locks Kamsla in as VP, and insures she is on the ballot if Biden quits.
