A quiet pressure campaign is underway to push President Joe Biden’s formal nomination to begin as early as next week — a month before the party’s convention in Chicago — even as calls intensify within the highest ranks of the Democratic Party for Biden to reconsider his reelection bid.
There has been a push among some Biden allies to kick off the virtual roll call process as quickly as possible, three Democratic officials familiar with the discussions revealed. Two key Democratic committees have long been set to gather this coming Friday and Sunday to discuss the exact timeline for delegates across the country to start casting their votes. The earliest that voting could begin would be after the second meeting on Sunday.
