CLEVELAND, Ohio-The Democratic National Committee nearly canceled the Democratic National Convention that was set for the week beginning Aug 17 in Milwaukee, sources said Wednesday, and following news that former vice president Joe Biden, who is set to name his vice presidential running mate momentarily.
The Republican National Convention had already been canceled altogether, President Trump to make his nomination acceptance speech from the Washington, D.C. and Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, from his home state of Delaware.
The convention will go forward in a minimal format.
Biden, 77, and Trump, 74, will square off Nov 3 for the 2020 presidential election as Biden is leading in practically every poll, and in Ohio by 4 points, Ohio a pivotal state for presidential elections.
Now all that is left is for the former vice president to choose a running mate for his presidential ticket.
Biden has promised that his running mate pick will be a woman.
U.S. Sens. Kamala Harris and Tammy Duckworth, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Rep. Val Demings of Florida, former national security adviser Susan Rice, and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham are reportedly the major short list contenders for Biden's VP pick, though Congressional Black Caucus Chair Rep Karen Bass of California has in recent months become a key contender on his short list.
Some 12 women were in the running, and even more have been considered, insiders say, Biden even establishing a committee to help him vet the prospective VP's.
Harris, Bottoms, Demings, Rice and Bass are all Black.
Biden served as vice president under former president Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president.
He officially clinched the Democratic nomination in early June .
He needed 1,991 of the 3,979 pledged delegates to claim the nomination, which he surpassed
Winning the nomination was all but ensured when Biden's closest opponent dropped out of the race, U.S. Sen Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a socialist Democrat who was making his second bid for president after losing the nomination to Hillary Clinton in 2016, Clinton going on to lose the general election to Trump, a real estate mogul and former television personality.
Biden's last minute decision to forego the now canceled Democratic National Convention is not at all surprising, pundits have said, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravish the nation.
Ohio has reported more than 95,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and 3,570 deaths since the pandemic broke in the United States more than four months ago.
Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland and several of its eastern suburbs, has reported 12, 881 confirmed cases and 482 deaths.
Worldwide there are currently more than 18.4 million confirmed cases and some 700,000 deaths, with the U.S. accounting for some 4.9 million confirmed cases, and 159,000 deaths.
