Democrats Will Select Nominee in a Virtual Vote

“The Democratic Party will choose its presidential nominee in a virtual vote by Aug. 7, Jaime Harrison, the chair of the Democratic National Committee,” the New York Times reports.

“His proclamation follows the party’s rapid consolidation behind Vice President Kamala Harris to replace President Biden. Minyon Moore, the chair of the party’s convention, said the nominating process would be ‘swift, transparent and fair.’ She added that a contested nominating fight with voting at the convention was not possible given the constraints of state ballot deadlines.”
