Perez: Democrats will 'descend' on Milwaukee for convention

https://fox6now.com/2020/06/10/perez-democrats-will-descend-on-milwaukee-for-convention/

MILWAUKEE — Democrats will “descend” on Milwaukee for the national convention in August despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez said Wednesday.

But Perez stopped short of predicting how many Democrats would be allowed, or willing, to attend.

“We don’t know the answer today because we don’t know what the public health situation on the ground will be,” Perez said on a conference call with reporters. Perez promised to stage a “safe and effective convention where we will highlight Joe Biden and his running mate.”

Biden and Democrats are in touch with public health experts who will determine how many people can safely gather in Milwaukee, Perez said.

“I’m confident we will be there,” Perez said. “We will follow the science and we will not abandon Milwaukee as did this president in North Carolina.”

Sounds like the Dems are approaching the DNC from the right angle. It'll be interesting to see what the final plan is for holding this with social distancing, etc.

on the big green screen, followed by

Masked N95 Presenters? "May I have the delegate envelope(s), please"? To comply w/social distancing and best practice???

I guess I'll miss cameras following the seating/standing behind and around the the State pole identifiers and a good enough for the Best Dressed of WalMart TikToks attire.

Oops, that would be the main venues wherever they finally moved their little party shenanigans et al other "special foreign guests"

Not sorry: Get it right, Perez and delegates! This is our challenge now to meet "reality!" and display our values.

I'd not want the Oscar way - My feeling on what happens at the Dem Convention is that Perez better get it right re best practices for large groups - remote - etc...AND NOT LIKE A SARCASTIC SAPPY PARODY OF A GOP VERSION OF THE MOVIE ACADEMY ARTS AND SCIENCES HONORS PRESENTATION of The Chosen GOLDEN MAN
