Biden's Early Nomination: A Virtual Path Amid Party's Chaos

President Joe Biden is set to receive the 2024 presidential nomination from Democrats through a virtual vote before their national convention. This early process aims to secure his candidacy, despite internal party chaos and calls for him to step aside. The nomination process includes delegate voting and potential roll call procedures.

President Joe Biden is on a trajectory to secure the Democratic nomination for the 2024 presidential election through a virtual vote in late July, ahead of the party's national convention in Chicago. This move, confirmed by four insiders, comes amidst calls for Biden to withdraw.

Normally, parties use their conventions to formalize nominations, but Biden's will occur earlier, sparking criticism. Aaron Regunberg of Pass the Torch called the virtual vote a "terrible idea" that could demoralize the Democratic base ahead of the crucial election period.

Biden, facing pressure to end his campaign after a poor debate performance, remains confident. His campaign believes the recent attempt on Donald Trump's life may divert some scrutiny. However, the plan reflects internal party turmoil as leaders work to protect Biden's incumbency.
