if the democrats want anyone other than Harris

they need to do it within a week or so

after the 'roll call' first week in August ---------- if they don't have ONE name then ---------- then it's a mess that would be catastrophic by the time the convention came around a little later

ONE name ---------- and IMO, it's probably got to be Harris

Obama has said over and over that she doesn't want it - for her to be that ONE name; it would take her to either change her mind or have had a plan to run all the way though if Joe jumped ship - AND it would take a massive change to go away from the VP (which is possible - but, highly unlikely)

The Democratic Party plans to hold a virtual roll call vote to formally nominate ??????????? during the first week of August 2024. This decision was made to ensure?????? name is on the ballot in Ohio and other states with early deadlines, despite some internal opposition within the party[1][2][3].
### What is a Roll Call Vote?
A roll call vote is a formal process where delegates from each state announce their votes for the party's presidential nominee. Traditionally, this occurs during the national convention, serving as a highlight of the event. However, this year, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) decided to conduct the roll call vote virtually before the convention to avoid potential legal challenges related to ballot access deadlines[1][2].
### Opposition and Concerns
Some Democrats are concerned that holding the roll call vote early undermines party unity and stifles debate about potential alternative nominees. They argue that the nomination should occur at the convention, as is customary, to allow for a more democratic process[1][2]. Despite these concerns, the DNC is moving forward with the virtual roll call to mitigate risks associated with ballot access issues, particularly in Ohio[3].
