D.N.C. Member Pitches Process to Replace Biden as Nominee in Memo to Party Chair [1]

['Jennifer Medina', 'More About Jennifer Medina']

Date: 2024-07-02

A longtime member of the Democratic National Committee is urging the party to establish a process to replace President Biden this summer.

The member, James Zogby, formerly part of the party’s executive committee, made the suggestion in a memo to Jaime Harrison, the D.N.C. chair.

Mr. Zogby, who shared the memo with The New York Times, said in it that many Democrats “are afraid of the uncertainties or even chaos” that could come if Mr. Biden stepped down. But he wrote that the “matter of finding a replacement is no longer speculative,” adding, “It is urgent and it isn’t going to go away.”

As a D.N.C. member for more than three decades who has also advised several presidential campaigns, Mr. Zogby holds limited sway over the party’s current leadership, but he could influence other stalwarts who are scrambling for other alternatives.
