So Pete gave this interview this morning and dropped out a few hours later?
I wonder what’s going on that no one is reporting? Did the DNC make a deal with him to try to screw Bernie?

What happens to a presidential candidate’s delegates after they drop out? Many people may be wondering this question now that Pete Buttigieg is out of the presidential race.
Buttigieg dropped out of the presidential race on March 1, 2020. By early March, he had won 26 pledged delegate votes in total: 23 from the Iowa and New Hampshire caucuses, and three from the Nevada caucus. He received no pledged delegate votes in South Carolina. After Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, he had received the most delegates of any candidate, by that point in the race.
Confusing the matter further, it’s possible that Buttigieg will earn even more delegates after he’s dropped out. This is because he (and other presidential candidates, like Tom Steyer and Cory Booker) will still be on the Super Tuesday voting ballots. According to Balletopedia, the Super Tuesday ballots are determined off of a voting deadline in early January. Because Buttigieg was still in the race by that time, he’ll be on the ballot for Super Tuesday.
So where do those 26 or more delegates belonging to Buttigieg go? It depends on the state.
Here’s what you need to know:
Delegates Can Go a Number of Directions, After a Presidential Candidate Drops Out
Understanding the Primaries: Delegates, Democracy, and America’s Nonstop Political PartyIn which John seeks to understand the strange and labyrinthine process used by the Republican and Democratic parties to select a nominee for President, focusing on the great state of Missouri, where the races were close but the delegate counts weren’t. Along the way, there’s a bit of discussion about political parties in U.S. politics, congressional redistricting and gerrymandering, superdelegates, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders.

In most states, when a candidate drops out, his or her delegates go to the national convention uncommitted to any candidate (that’s why it means they’re “pledged” after a caucus; they haven’t actually voted, and will only officially vote at the Democratic National Convention). From there, they can technically vote for anyone they choose, like a superdelegate.
On the other hand, some states like Virginia and Nevada require that delegates vote for their pledged candidate in the first round of the convention no matter what, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
However, if a candidate drops out of the race and then goes on to endorse another active presidential candidate, then those delegates are expected to vote for the candidate the person has endorsed. For example, if Buttigieg endorsed Joe Biden after he dropped out, his delegates would have to vote for Biden at the convention, assuming Biden was still in the race by then

...I figured if YOU don’t know NOBODY does, so I looked it up.
Don’t forget to preview your posts, rusty!
Amy has never lost a race.
I would think Michelle is enjoying the jet setting life now.

Nite, peeps!
I met him once at a rally, very nice.
I think MOOCH hated the whole POTUS thing I think she is very happy now on her beach front property NO WAY will she run!!!
Darn it! - I'll miss him!
He was prime MEME material!
Okay then.
Good to know.
I suppose if or when he endorses someone,that’s it,and at this late date, he stays on the ballot ...he’ll keep the others from any of his delegates. Right.
Jeez!
In Texas Primaries there are republicans running against President Trump and yet they were no longer viable,but their names were still on the ballot regardless.
We’ll be going on Tuesday. There are a couple of others running. I don’t know why they are wasting our time and money. More Rino Traitors ala Romney I guess.
When do you vote? Is it also Tuesday?
