According to this story, the chair of the Democratic national convention “certified” that Tim Walz is the Democratic nominee for vice-president on August 7. However, the story does not allege that the Democratic delegates have voted for vice-president yet.
A separate source about the vice-presidential nomination, a Democratic delegate, says there has not been any vote of the delegates for vice-president. There will be such a roll-call vote at the physical convention in Chicago, but the story says that vote isn’t binding.
I can’t speak to DNC rules, but I think under RNC rules the RNC itself (without the convention) can certify a replacement on the ticket.
Yes, but in this case replacement rules are irrelevant. So far there is no v-p nominee, if a vote of the delegates is needed to nominate a v-p.
Saying it’s strange is an understatement.
WHAT IS DNC COMMIE MONARCH MACHINATION NEXT –
THAT HARRIS-WALZ HAS BEEN *CERTIFIED* ELECTED QUEEN/KING OF THE UNIVERSE ???
HOW ABOUT A 2024 BUZZWORD — WIERD ???
ANY WIERD METER IN 2024 ???
Lol the AZ bot can’t spell.
As part of the same rules package with the virtual roll call for president, they said the presidential nominee could simply inform the convention chair of who she’d chosen and that person would automatically be the VP nominee. Sounds like simply formalizing the longtime de facto political reality.
Comrade Observer,
Exactly, and about time, too!
Simply put on the ticket without even a vote of the DNC delegates, because to do it democratically would be a threat to our democracy….or something
Exactly. A presidential candidate picked by delegates affirming the closed door pick of party insiders picking her own VP candidate is the best, and indeed only, way to save democracy, after we failed to keep Trump off the ballot.
