The committee is looking to formally nominate Biden before the August convention, according to Axios.
The Democratic National Committee is trying to accelerate the process to nominate President Joe Biden , according toState party chairs will reportedly receive training on how to securely conduct electronic voting for the nomination next week.
The vote will likely open on July 29 and end by Aug. 5, according to the outlet. DNC Chair Jamie Harrison told The National Desk the party will hold a virtual vote before celebrating Biden with his supporters at the convention, which will take place Aug. 19-22 in Chicago. "We look forward to nominating Joe Biden through a virtual roll call and celebrating with fanfare together in Chicago in August alongside the 99 percent of delegates who are supporting the Biden-Harris ticket,” Harrison said in a statement. He added that the DNC has not accelerated any virtual vote, which the committee announced earlier this year. The suggestion that the timeline for the virtual roll call has been accelerated is false,” Harrison asserted. “The timeline for the virtual roll call process remains on schedule and unchanged from when the DNC made that decision in May.”READ MORE |State law required the certification of presidential candidates by Aug. 7 before a new law pushed the deadline to Sept. 1. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, said he was “duty-bound” to begin preparing the ballots without the Democratic nominee since the new law will not take effect until after Aug. 7. “This election comes down to nothing less than saving our democracy from a man who has said he wants to be a ‘dictator on day one’ – so we certainly are not going to leave the fate of this election in the hands of MAGA Republicans in Ohio that have tried to keep President Biden off of the general election ballot,” Harrison told TND. Biden wrote in a letter to Democrats earlier this month that he would not step aside since he won enough delegates in the primary elections. “I decline to do that. I feel a deep obligation to the faith and the trust the voters of the Democratic Party have placed in me to run this year,” he said. “It was their decision to make. Not the press, not the pundits, not the big donors, not any selected group of individuals, no matter how well intentioned.”
