The Democratic National Committee is proceeding with plans to virtually nominate President Joe Biden in the upcoming weeks, despite facing opposition from some Democratic lawmakers. In an email sent to members of the convention rules committee, the DNC emphasized that a virtual nomination is the 'wisest approach' and confirmed that no virtual voting will commence before August 1.
The committee is scheduled to convene on Friday to discuss and establish the procedures and timeline for virtually nominating Biden. The email outlined that the virtual voting element will be concluded before the in-person convention, with details on how the process will be executed.
