The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is not planning to begin a virtual roll call to nominate United States President Joe Biden as its candidate for the November election before August, NBC reported on Wednesday, citing a letter the DNC sent to delegates.
The letter comes after the New York Times reported that the voting to nominate Biden would begin on July 22, as well as reports that some Democrats are seeking to delay the vote as they believe other options should be considered.
"No matter what may be reported, our goal is not to fast-track," Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Bishop Leah Daughtry, co-chairs of the DNC's rules committee, wrote in the latter. "None of this will be rushed. Unlike our nation's other major political party, our rules are set in public meetings, anchored in the Party's charter and its traditions," they added and noted the voting process will end before the Democratic convention, which is set to start on August 19.
