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.

No doubt, it made my stomach turn. The corrupt media is truly evil.
The dims love mail in votes. The USPS is their partner in that. Next they will push for on line voting.
Brought to you by the ‘democratic’ party. Virtual Democracy. So much better than the real thing.
Because he served non-consecutive terms.
Someone had to say it.
“on line voting”
Crowdstrike will handle cyber-security.
Lol.
And these new “rules” differ from Communist China’s “rules” for “electing” the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee and Politburo HOW?
I hope this is the beginning of the end of the modern Rat Party. Hopefully, it will splinter now between RFK, Jr., Cornell West, Jill Stein, and whoever the flaming rainbow warrior is the Libertarians nominated. Life is good.
The Democrats right now make a great case for a Multiparty country. The Two party system at this point is a failure. It might be chaotic but it would be far more interesting to watch.
Correct. They could have “deemed” Cleveland’s number to be 22 (or a variant of the old number, like 22-B), but they didn’t, so now the tradition should be to assign the next ordinal number to a POTUS winning a new non-consecutive term.
Hold the vote tomorrow. Wouldn’t she need a VP selection prior to that?
If they do this.... to hold ‘virtual’ nomination of Kamala before their August convention, this blocks delegates from nominating new candidate in Chicago, despite Kamala receiving zero votes.
Democracy!
If this is how the Democrat party disregards the voice of their own party constituents, how much worse would they treat everyone else?
I’ll be Willie Brown never paid this much to Ms. Cameltoe for her services. The RATS are crazy for Democrazy.
