Democrats scrap plan to push through early Biden nomination vote

The Democratic National Committee will no longer try to nominate President Joe Biden on an accelerated timeline.Although the Democratic National Committee had decided to hold a virtual vote on July 21 to nominate Biden, many Democrats who are pushing for a new nominee protested and claimed that this move was an attempt to rush through the process without giving consideration to a potential new candidate.CNN political commentator and former Biden communications director Kate Bedingfield noted that the ballot access deadlines begin on Aug. 20 because ballots must be printed. "Waiting until 8/19 to formally nominate a candidate would give very little breathing room to get a name on those ballots if there were to be a brokered convention," she wrote on the social media site X. "An earlier virtual process in some ways leaves more flexibility on the table, not less, because it doesn’t put the party’s back against the wall re: ballot deadlines on 8/20. Probably not the argument the Biden team wants to make (to say the least!!), but it is another thing those that are upset about this should consider."Read Also: The risk of dumping BidenNow, the DNC announced that it will push back the vote to August. Anti-Biden Democrats now have a few additional weeks to find a candidate willing to run against Biden, mount a campaign and raise the funds necessary to build and win a national effort in four months.
