What Happens Now That Joe Biden Quit Race? DNC Process Explained
Newsweek ^ | July 21, 2024 | Katherine Fung

…According to the Democratic National Committee rules, the party's delegates would still meet as scheduled for a virtual roll call to vote for who they think should be the nominee.

What If Democrats Don't Choose Harris?

Because Harris wouldn't just immediately become the nominee, there's a chance that another candidate is picked.

The Democratic Party's delegates could choose another candidate that they see as giving the party a better chance against Trump in November.

Other high-profile Democrats floated as possibly stronger alternatives to Harris include California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. But they have said that they would not run for the Oval Office in 2024.

What If There's a Contested Convention? There is also a possibility that no candidate wins a majority on the roll call. If this happens, more than 700 "superdelegates" will also vote in a subsequent ballot. The process would continue until a candidate wins a simple majority.

"Superdelegates" consist of the senior party leaders and elected officials who automatically become delegates to the convention based on their positions. They are not allowed to vote on the first ballot, per DNC rules, but can vote on subsequent ballots.

Job one should be to tell Joe Biden, I guess. Someone should, really.

A Dem said “The mini primary will not involve any voters, so it is not really like the other primaries.”

It means “democracy” is not being valued or preserved.
The insiders are going to decide, not the voters.

Not one primary vote delegate was won by Kamala Harris.
And she could very well be the next President.

Like old novels (maybe Being There by Jerzy Kozinski where a mentally challenged man was appointed, then misunderstood as saying Buddha like answers in brief statements, then made VP.)

Basically it’s going to be whatever the DNC Rules Committee allows. I’m guessing they’ll be meeting earlier than planned this year. Probably already are.

Biden’s a team player. He supports her even after being called a racist. They’re scared of losing the blacks. What else could it be? She’s poison and both sides know it.

Should she debate Trump or JD? As VP she’s got the time for more than one but she’s not that dumb.

DNC process? Eh, don’t care.

Going to enjoy the fistfights, riots, back-stabbings, shootings, and general mayhem.

And that’s just the inside, nevermind the riot groups that are signed up for outside.

Got some good booze laid in.

A ‘virtual’ convention. Just who will manage the ‘virtual’ part? Dominion?

Is it just me or is there something missing from that headline? Grammatically?
