Leaders of the Democratic National Committee are making moves to officially nominate President Biden before the end of July, aiming to quell doubts within the party regarding Biden’s candidacy against Donald Trump in the upcoming November election.
Doubts surrounding Biden intensified after a lackluster debate performance last month. There are concerns among Democrats, with Adam Schiff expressing worries about potential losses if Biden remains the nominee.
A group of Democratic representatives is advocating for a delay in Biden’s nomination to allow for possible challenges at the upcoming party convention. However, party rules make it challenging to replace Biden unless he voluntarily steps down, which he has stated he has no intention of doing.
