A DNC Committee packed with corporate consultants and Biden loyalists will meet on Friday to consider accelerating the nominating process with a pre-convention virtual roll call.
Executives at well-connected corporate consultancies voted to approve DNC Chair Jaime Harrison's slate of "at-large" members, which included several new corporate lobbyists.
DNC members say they were not allowed input on the nominees, who were put forward as a slate by Chair Jaime Harrison and will almost certainly be approved.
During the Obama administration, Harrison lobbied for some of the Hill's top spenders, including Big Banks, Big Oil, and a coalition of coal companies that fought climate regulations.
More than 40 Democratic National Committee members have joined a call for structural reforms to increase transparency and ensure fairness in the nominating process.
The DNC Executive Committee, which can adopt changes to the convention superdelegate process, contains lobbyists for companies that oppose progressive policies like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.
