Amid the Democratic Party’s decision to move ahead with holding a virtual roll call to nominate President Joe Biden in the coming weeks – before the Democratic National Convention in August in Chicago – three former heads of the DNC have weighed in to back the process, calling it the “wisest course.”
The letter, sent to members of the DNC’s Rules Committee on Tuesday and penned by former DNC chairs Donna Brazile, Howard Dean and Terry McAuliffe, says that a virtual process is necessary to ensure that the Democratic nominees for president and vice president appear on the ballot in every state and in the District of Columbia without basis for legal challenge.
