From our Desk: Those Democrats are up to their old tricks again. This virtual nomination business is just another desperate attempt to prop up their failing candidate, Joe Biden. They know he doesn't have the energy or the mental fortitude to withstand the rigors of a traditional campaign, so they're trying to shield him from public scrutiny as much as possible.
Make no mistake, this is a blatant attempt to manipulate the American people. The Democrats know that if they can control the narrative and limit Biden's exposure, they have a better chance of keeping their fragile house of cards from collapsing. But mark my words, the truth will out. The American people deserve to see their candidates in the flesh, to ask them questions, and to hold them accountable. This virtual charade is an insult to our democracy and a disservice to the voters.
DNC Planning to Virtually Nominate Joe Biden Before Convention
The Democratic National Committee is planning to virtually nominate President Joe Biden as the party's presidential nominee ahead of their convention in August.
DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison issued a statement on Tuesday in which he explained that the Democrat Party would be taking matters into their own hands and holding a "Virtual roll," in order to ensure that Biden appears on the ballot in all 50 states, according to the Hill.
"Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree," Harrison said in a statement.
Harrison continued to explain that the Democrat Party would nominate Biden through a "Virtual roll call" in order to "Ensure that Republicans can't chip away at our democracy through incompetence or partisan tricks."
Lawmakers in Ohio gathered for a special session on Tuesday in order to discuss Biden appearing on the ballot, days after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine called for the special session.
Ohio Senate Republicans had passed a bill that would ensure Biden appeared on the ballot, while also preventing "Foreign contributions to ballot issue campaigns," according to CBS News.
News of the Democrat Party's decision to virtually nominate Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris comes after several reports have indicated the Democrats have been floating the idea of holding a virtual convention in an attempt to avoid pro-Palestinian protests over the Biden administration's handling of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
