WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats will look to hold a virtual vote to make President Joe Biden their party’s nominee in the first week of August, as Biden has rebuffed calls from some in his party to quit the race after his disastrous debate performance.
The Democratic National Convention’s rules committee will meet on Friday to discuss its plans and will finalize them next week. That’s according to a letter sent to members obtained by The Associated Press.
The letter from co-chairs Bishop Leah D. Daughtry and Gov. Tim Walz states the virtual vote won’t take place before Aug. 1 but the party is still committed to holding a vote before Aug. 7, which had been Ohio’s filing deadline.
