Representative Morgan McGarvey of Kentucky has joined the increasing number of Democrats urging Joe Biden to step aside in the upcoming election, citing that the stakes are too high for him to remain as the nominee. This call comes amidst Democratic officials pushing for a virtual roll call vote and concerns about the nomination process surrounding Biden. The DNC’s rules committee discussed the possibility of a virtual nomination due to fears about a potential legal challenge from Ohio Republicans. Furthermore, Biden’s outside legal counsel has encouraged the convention to proceed with a virtual nomination to avoid potential legal issues. However, the process of nominating a new candidate and the implications for the vice president nomination are still uncertain. Kamarack, a member of the DNC rules committee, highlighted the challenges that delegates may face in the event of a new nominee. Nonetheless, calls for Biden to step aside and pass the torch to Kamala Harris continue to grow, with two more House Democrats joining the chorus. The uncertainty and complexities surrounding the nomination process add a layer of intrigue and uncertainty to the upcoming Democratic convention, as party officials and delegates grapple with the best path forward.
