WASHINGTON (AP) — Some House Democrats are wary of quickly nominating President Joe Biden as his reelection candidate. The Democrats circulated a letter Tuesday expressing “serious concerns” about plans for a virtual roll call as early as July 21, ahead of the Democratic National Convention next month in Chicago. The letter to the Democratic National Committee was not publicly signed — or sent — but it says it would be a “terrible idea” to stifle debate over the party’s nominee. It comes as Biden insists he is not dropping out of the race. Democrats had planned the early roll call to ensure Biden would qualify for the Ohio ballot.
