One word: Superdelegates.

The DNC changed the rules for 2024. Superdelegates now cannot vote until the second round. Biden has way more than enough delegates to win on the first round.

So as it stands now, superdelegates will play no part unless Biden withdraws. But I guess the DNC could change the rules at the last moment.

They don’t need super delegates. dNC changed its rules in 2022.

Once they have nominated a candidate. Should that candidate quit for any reason they can name a new one without a single vote being cast by anyone.

I have suspected this is the plan since I first heard about the rule change..

Prop up potato until nominated then cast him aside and name someone else.

We shall see

The 2024 Democrat National Convention will resemble the 1936 Democrat National Convention that nominated FDR for a third term:

“The Voice from the Sewer” will nominate the winner.

One word: Superdelegates.

Absolutely on the mark.

Also timing is critical. Their chosen one must be highly visible yet not subject to the rigors and scrutiny of campaigning.

My bet is michelle obummer.
