Joe Biden raised significant doubts about whether the Democratic National Convention will be held as planned in July, with the likely presidential nominee suggesting that the party’s major gathering, slated for Milwaukee, may need to be altered or postponed.

When asked whether he could envision holding the convention in July, given the novel coronavirus pandemic and concerns about large gatherings, Biden said, “It’s hard to envision that.”

“We should listen to the scientists,” the former vice president told Brian Williams in an interview that aired late Tuesday night on MSNBC.

Biden noted that one reason the convention has been scheduled for mid-July was to accommodate the Olympics, which had been scheduled to begin July 24. Given that the Summer Games have been postponed to next year, Biden raised the possibility that the DNC could postpone the convention, saying, “there is more time now.”

any reason why it can't be delayed a few weeks with no Olympics if they need an in person convention?

3. I have said on here several times there will be no floor fight.

This is our convention. being realistic and asking the sacrifices from people how do you do this. It isn't just gonna blow away. We'll be lucky if we have a virtual convention.
