As the Democratic National Committee prepares to lock in Joe Biden as its presidential nominee early, Democratic members of Congress are pushing back.
Rep. Jared Huffman of California has drafted a letter to the DNC calling on the organization to cancel any plans for a “virtual roll call” vote on the nomination, as Politico reported Tuesday. But members are also phoning the DNC directly to stop the vote, two sources told NOTUS.
“They’re calling anyone who will pick up the phone; they’re talking to anyone that will listen,” one source familiar with the outreach said.
