The Democratic Party will select its new nominee, virtually, as soon as Aug. 1, according to new rules passed Wednesday by the party's convention rules committee.
The Democratic National Committee also established that the party's candidate, which is likely to be Vice President Kamala Harris, must pick a running mate by Aug. 7, Ohio's current ballot deadline, which remains in effect. Harris' team is planning to finish the vetting of the VP field and expects her to pick her running mate by that date, according to a source familiar with the plans.
The DNC's newly adopted rules, the result of a long process that preceded President Biden's departure from the race, also establish a window for any Democrat to qualify and appear on the roll call ballot.
Harris' presidential campaign, and anyone seeking to challenge her, will need to file paperwork with the DNC and obtain digital signatures from at least 300 delegates, with no more than 50 from a single state, by July 30 at 6 p.m. ET.

Thanks for the report. Dissenters ‘removed’, how commie of them. Toe the party line or else.
The democrats can’t do anything fair and in the light of day. They are evil manipulators.
Wow, look at that, DJT got more than her in a democrat primary! LOLOL
Donald John Trump (write-in) 1,217 0.00%
Kamala D. Harris 844 0.00%
When fifty state chairman endorse one candidate for their party within 48 hours that is not a normal political party.
That is a bunch of really scared people.
Everything the Democrats say about democracy is a total scam. They do whatever the DNC commands. I am sick of listening to Democrat lies.
It’s what they do.
A roll call vote? Nothing anonymous about that.
Come on RATS! Do it so we can start smearing you biatch the way she is smearing President Trump. Friggin Indo.
quick before they find out how much she sucks
yes kommiela sucks
I wonder if the democrats will balk the next time our side needs to change all the rules in the middle of the contest?
I’m joking... Of course they will.
Yes, but don’t call him Shirley.
Jesse Waters ain’t much better... If you’re still watching Fox then you’re missing out on a lot of stuff.
Last time she was in the primaries, I don’t believe she tied
down one delegate.
July 30 at 6 p.m. ET.
Hillary’s deadline. Oh, machinations she’s capable of with THE prize only that dullard Heels Up away. Color me not surprised if Obama enters his dark horse gelding, mare, stallion, whatever that beast of his is.
I understand Biden doesn’t want to resign because he is not sure how many pardons Hunter will need. If he did resign, somebody, probably Kamala, would become 47. Wouldn’t both Trump and Kamala have to redesign their campaign merchandise from 47 to 48?
Honestly, this is all very shocking. Why not at least go through the charade of an open vote at Convention?
They are going to completely lose the black vote. If Kamala is black, which I doubt. And then of course there is the whole NBC thing.
The Dems are blowing it big time on the nomination. Maybe they are intentionally throwing the election to Trump.
No candidate selection in my lifetime has been this politburo.
Not one human being in the Democratic Party has thrown their hat in the ring to challenge Kamala.
Manchin was in the race for one day and then backed out....
They are spooked—because nobody knows what is really going on and everybody in the party is lying about everything.
Why the almost indecent rush to anoint Kamala ? Is she really the best they have to offer ?
I read some time ago that she in fact was Obama’s choice not Biden in 2019/20 so maybe that’s one reason ?
Rumors that Obama liked Cory Booker. But he never gained any traction.
A president serving one or two terms, only gets one number
Reagan was 40. GHW was 41.
If by chance Biden did serve another term, the next president
would be 47.
