Hi John,
As we've all heard by now, President Biden has stepped down as the
Democratic nominee for president. This is unprecedented in modern
politics, and it leaves a lot of open questions. What happens to the
delegates who had pledged to support Biden? What happens to the funds
Biden raised?
Let's break down what happens now:
First, Biden can't directly pass his delegates to Kamala Harris, but his
endorsement is about as powerful as it gets. Harris technically still
needs to gain majority support among the almost 4,000 delegates to become
the official nominee. While other Democrats can challenge her, Harris has
secured the [ [link removed] ]endorsement of more than the 1,976 delegates needed to win
the nomination in the first round of voting, making her the likely
presumptive nominee.
The DNC had planned a roll call vote this week to nominate Biden, but this
will now be rescheduled. Delegates will need to meet soon, however,
because the deadline to appear on the ballot in several states is fast
approaching. A virtual roll call will be rescheduled, so a new nominee can
be confirmed ahead of state ballot access deadlines — some of which occur
the week that the convention is scheduled.
As for campaign financing, Harris has already been handed the keys to
Biden's war chest, since their campaign account was set up together. She's
already raised [ [link removed] ]more than $100 million since the announcement on Sunday.
We're in completely uncharted territory in an election that was already
one for the history books. Make sure you're [ [link removed] ]part of our social media
