Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has advocated for the delay of the Democratic National Convention due to lingering uncertainties surrounding President Biden's potential candidacy in 2024, according to a reliable source.

Following discussions with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Schumer and Jeffries jointly proposed the postponement of the convention. This decision comes in contrast to the initial intention of conducting a virtual roll call to formally nominate President Biden.
