“Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) on Sunday said the Democratic Party will need President Biden to play a vital role at the Democratic National Convention in August, regardless of whether he will be the party’s presidential nominee,” The Hill reports.
Said Raskin: “So, we’re having a serious conversation about what to do. One thing I can tell you is that regardless of what President Biden decides… our party is going to be unified and our party also needs him at the very center of our deliberations in our campaign.”
He added: “And so, whether he’s the candidate or someone else is the candidate, he is going to be the keynote speaker at our convention. He will be the figure that we rally around to move forward and beat the forces of authoritarianism and reaction in the country.”
