Congressional Democrats are to hold an emergency weekend meeting to discuss Joe Biden’s tottering presidential candidacy, after a primetime television interview failed to dispel doubts triggered by last week’s debate fiasco.

Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrats’ leader in the House of Representatives, scheduled the virtual meeting for Sunday with ranking committee members, according to multiple reports, even as Biden struck a defiant posture in Friday’s interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

    The second paragraph kinda hurt my brain.

    I’m not sure I can wrap my brain around non party members nominating anything for a party

      I had to re-register as Dem to vote for Bernie Sanders in the 2020 primary and then back to NPP after.

        I think this is where I’m struggling. To do the equivalent of thar here I’d have to join the party and ve eligible under the party rules. Even if it was just for 1 (whatever minimum requirement they wanted)

          It’s definitely a confusing system. In the US, you are not automatically registered to vote. You have to register by certain deadlines before the elections, but can also cast a provisional ballot if you had issues registering or find out at the polling place you aren’t registered.
