US election campaign - Democratic party leaders prefer Biden nomination
Amidst the discussion about Joe Biden's age and fitness as the US President, the Democratic party leadership is pushing plans forward to nominate the 81-year-old virtually as their presidential candidate before the planned party convention in August. The party leadership confirmed the plans to journalists and explained that they want to ensure Biden is on the ballot in all states for the presidential election in November.
Biden is currently under immense pressure from within his own ranks due to his advanced age and concerns about his mental fitness. Several democratic representatives have called on him to withdraw from the presidential race in recent weeks. Many others have publicly expressed serious concerns about his chances.
Biden won the presidential primaries of his party in the states without significant competition months ago. However, he must still be officially nominated as a candidate for the actual presidential election in early November by delegates from all states. This is usually done at a large Democratic nomination convention in Chicago in mid-August.
However, there was a problem with deadlines in the state of Ohio, which put Biden at risk of not appearing on the ballot there if he was not officially nominated before the party convention. Therefore, the Democratic Party set the procedure for a virtual pre-vote in motion in May. The problem in Ohio has since been resolved. The Democratic Party is still holding firm to the plans for an early nomination and is now facing accusations from within its own ranks of trying to suppress the debate and force the candidacy through prematurely.
The "New York Times" reported that a vote could still take place by the end of July. A democratic congressman told the paper: "The attempt to suppress the debate and force the candidacy through is a power play of the highest order." This will not sit well with many people.
