Via Bloomberg, and only part of the alert showed up, so here it is:

The DNC is considering formally nominating Joe as early as mid-July to help stamp out chatter....

@GottaLaff

Not to "stamp out chatter" it's because the GOP in Ohio is being obstinate.

@GottaLaff

Please don't amplify the "stamp out chatter line" it's really really not helpful with fence sitting voters who think the party is controlling and tone deaf.

And they can be controlling and tone deaf, but this is one time when it is not an example of them doing that.

@futurebird I was posting the part I could see. I added the link later to expand. I wasn’t intending to amplify.

@GottaLaff Sure, why not? Get the NYTimes, erm, people to shut up already about it.

@GottaLaff
Weren't there plans to do that anyway, because of some state that pointed out the convention was scheduled after a state deadline for its ballot?

@dougiec3 See second toot

That would be helpful. I’m getting tired of smacking people who think replacing Biden at this late date is an option.

@GottaLaff Good! Showing support for our ticket, and because Ohio GOP has chosen to enforce an obscure rule that they have never used before. Vote suppressing OH Secy of State has said if Biden is not formally nominated by 8/7/24 he cannot appear on the ballot.

@GottaLaff Bloomberg is wrong. The reason for an early formal nomination is so Biden can be on the Ohio ballot, and the plan was made weeks ago.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@not2b Yes, I remember but maybe they're getting more specific about it now.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@not2b Lol, it JUST showed up here.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@not2b Also, they're not wrong. As I said, I only got a partial alert.

not2b ,
@not2b@sfba.social avatar

@GottaLaff I meant that they are wrong about the motivation. The early formal nomination was already the plan before the debate.

@GottaLaff Hadn’t they already said this would happen early via a remote meeting to deal with the Ohio ballot eligibility deadline?

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@abulsme I remember what you're talking about but can't remember the details. This sounds more specific to me.
