evidence: The Democratic National Committee is moving ahead with its controversial plan to virtually nominate President Joe Biden ahead of the Democratic convention in Chicago next month – ignoring the growing calls from some of the party’s elected officials to ditch that strategy given the serious ongoing debate about whether the president should continue to seek a second term. [...] A growing faction of House Democrats, convinced that Biden is too politically damaged to defeat Donald Trump in November, has been calling on the DNC to ditch the virtual nomination plans altogether, and a draft letter is circulating among Democratic lawmakers calling on the party to slow down the process, as CNN reported. [...] A spokesperson for Huffman told CNN that in light of the DNC letter to hold a virtual roll call in August, they will not be sending their formal letter calling on the party to delay nominating Biden that was circulated earlier this week. Huffman had drafted a letter to House Democrats to delay Biden’s nomination until delegates gathered at the convention.
