What's Next?  

For our representative Democrats Abroad delegates - just like state DNC delegates - their bound votes have been 'released' by Biden's step down from the nomination, and the Democratic National Convention Committee (rules committee) is meeting July 24th to discuss the process for a transparent, open and democratic process around how these delegates are committed at the convention.  A person becomes the Presidential nominee when they secure the 1975 delegate votes to win the nomination.  While VP Harris has declared her intent to run for President and has stated she wants to 'earn and win' the nomination, she is not the official nominee until this process is completed.

We have 13 delegates attending on behalf of Democrats Abroad in Chicago, and while some DA delegates have pledged their individual support for VP Harris' nomination there will be a process to poll members/voters to align their preference with our delegation who is attending the Chicago Convention, August 19-22nd.  No one from Ireland is attending the convention [as of now] in person, but we do have close connections to many who are.  Delegates were elected as part of our meetings in Costa Rica at the end of May/beginning of June and are representative of the regions where Democrats Abroad operates.  If you know someone who is attending, there is an Irish American Caucus event on the evening of the 20th, so please let us know and we will try to secure them an invite to the event.
