In May, Democrats decided to hold their roll call vote for their nominee well before the party’s convention. But now, some in the party say they want to put the brakes on that plan.

President Biden walks out of the Oval Office towards the South Lawn of the White House on July 15 as he left to campaign in Las Vegas.

“Members across the political spectrum of the caucus are involved in this effort,” one Democrat involved with the discussions told NPR.The letter is a long-shot bid by Democrats who are fearful of losses up and down the ticket to sway Biden and his closest allies that the political situation is dire and can only be addressed by him.

The aim was to get around a deadline in an Ohio law to get the nominee on the November ballot – but on May 31, that state passed legislation that effectively negated the need for the DNC workaround. In the draft letter, the lawmakers say that the party’s formal nomination of its candidates should happen at the convention, as it always does. The convention this year is set to open on Aug. 19.

“We moved forward, we instituted this before they had a fix. And we're going to continue on that path because we're not going to leave it up to them to change the rules again,” said Fulks.
