Democrats moving ahead with virtual roll call to nominate Biden

(NewsNation) — The Democratic National Committee announced it is moving ahead with a roll call to formally nominate President Joe Biden to be the party's nominee in 2024, despite continued calls for him to step out of the race.

An exact date for when the virtual roll call will begin has not been set, but the DNC announced it will not happen earlier than Aug. 1.

The Democratic National Convention's rules committee will meet Friday to discuss the roll call but an exact date is not expected to be set. NewsNation obtained the letter sent to the committee outlining the plan for conducting the roll call.
