Chuck Schumer pushed to delay DNC as concerns persist over Biden's candidacy

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., pushed for the Democratic National Convention's delay as questions persist about President Biden's 2024 candidacy, according to multiple sources. 

Schumer spoke with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and both men agreed to urge the DNC to delay a virtual roll call planned for this month to officially nominate Biden, three sources told Fox News Digital. 

It was revealed Wednesday that the DNC was delaying its nomination plans to August after significant pushback from party members toward an initial plan to nominate Biden later this month. 

"We have confirmed with the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic National Convention that no virtual voting will begin before August 1," wrote DNC Rules Committee co-chairs Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., and veteran Democratic Party official Leah Daughtry in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.
