The Democratic National Committee plans to move forward with its virtual roll call to nominate Joe Biden — but will delay setting the date and rules for the vote until next week.
In a letter signed by the Democratic National Convention Rules Committee co-chairs Leah Daughtry and Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, the committee says it will “propose a framework for how best to proceed” at a meeting on Friday, but members will not be adopting any rules until next week.
The letter, obtained first by POLITICO, was sent to other members of the rules committee on Wednesday morning. It also says that any voting on the nomination wouldn’t begin until at least Aug. 1, a few days later than published reports had suggested voting could begin.
