Rep. James Clyburn, South Carolina Democrat, noted Wednesday that the party already plans a virtual roll call ahead of the nominating convention to jump through a legal hoop in Ohio and get Mr. Biden's name on the ballot in that state.

Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., assistant Democratic leader in the House, speaks during the Democratic National Committee Winter Meeting, Feb. 4, 2023, in Philadelphia. A key ally of President Biden floated the idea of a “mini-primary” to replace Mr. Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket.

“You can actually fashion the process that’s already in place to make it a mini primary, and I would support that absolutely,” Mr. Clyburn said in a CNN interview. “We can’t close that down, and we should open up everything for the general election.” Mr. Clyburn has publicly said he supports the president and his spokeswoman told Politico that her boss’s CNN interview did not indicate any preparation for a Plan B.
