DNC Response
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Jaime Harrison emphasizes the need for transparency and orderliness in the process of selecting a candidate to defeat Donald Trump in November, following President Biden’s decision not to seek reelection. Harrison states that the party will adhere to established rules and procedures to swiftly deliver a candidate to the American people.
The DNC is considering holding an early roll call to approve the party nominee, with a virtual roll call scheduled before August 7 to meet Ohio’s ballot certification deadline. Despite Ohio’s extension of the deadline, the DNC plans to proceed with the virtual roll call to ensure President Biden’s appearance on all 50 state ballots. The DNC’s next steps and the nomination process’s path forward will be communicated to the American people in the near future.
