This was always the plan because they scheduled the convention too late to get their nomination in in Ohio, and they don’t trust them to make an exception. Just now you’ve got the (probably dead) thrust to remove Biden on top of it. One of the recent trueanons covers it a fair bit, and I was trying to figure out when they’d do it the other day as they hadn’t actually scheduled it yet. (And still kinda haven’t.)
