The Biden-Harris campaign co-chair declared President Biden the "Democratic nominee" for president before a single vote has been cast.
Former Biden aide Cedric Richmond on Wednesday said that Biden is not debating for his spot on top of the blue presidential ticket and is already the "Democratic nominee."
"President Biden is the Democratic nominee, along with Vice President Harris," Richmond said. "And if you look at both parties, when they have an incumbent president, that incoming president participates in no debates and there's no primary on our side when there's a primary."
"But the key to it is the fact that we've already endorsed President Biden," the Democratic National Committee (DNC) senior adviser said.
Richmond said that no "party has done it" going "back to [Presidents] Reagan and Ford," adding, "It's just something that has been well settled."
"And it's just another issue that people want to use as a distraction from us focusing on still delivering for the American people and making sure that we address the issues and the challenges they face," Richmond said.
Typically, the party in control of the White House will not hold presidential debates and will throw their hat behind the current president.
It is not unheard of for incumbent presidents to see challenges from their own party — Biden is currently seeing two in the forms of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Marianne Williamson — but parties will typically try to avoid an intra-party fight.

Trump supporters do the same thing. No different.
No different than Trump and supporters are attempting as well.
oh boy... you gonna trigger them now! ;)
Lol. Not hard to do at all.
"...still delivering for the American people and making sure that we address the issues and the challenges they face," Richmond said.
There you go Dems... They have chosen the candidate without you.
Dang, going to be voting for Biden again, eh!
It’s like Red China.
The Party picks the candidate and the people are expected to vote for him.
Opus?
not at all. they are more lib like than anything.
I wish someone would tell Steve Bannon, that message of Grass Roots Strategy, would go over well among Democrats as well. He can appeal to them that the grass roots and common Democrats ARE NOT getting people as candidates who represent THEM. I bet if the real grass roots Democrats started doing the Precinct Stategy, we’d get far better candidates in the race.
Trump kept pulling against the strings, he had to go
Indeed, sadly.
He is going to campaign from his basement, going to mandate masks again so they will mail out ballots again.
Well basically, Biden is Der Fuehrer of the Democrat States of America.
Does what his handlers tell him to, regardless of that pesky separation of powers and the Constitution.
They’re no doubt working out a way to get him 90 million ‘votes’ this time around.
Of course that is how Hillary beat Sanders for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
It is all rigged by the political elite and insiders.
That’s trumpers job if their cult leader isn’t chosen.
You’re so juvenile.
Still more mature then trump and his cult members.
