1852 Dem Convention went 25 ballots
Not close to the record
Winner just needs a majority in ‘24
It went 49 ballots, not 25
‘His soul searching is actually happenin...”
He has no soul.
1924: The Wildest Convention in U.S. History:
Nearly 100 years ago, it took the Democrats 103 ballots and 16 sweaty days to select a nominee. John W. Davis was nominated.
Got you beat…
