Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Democratic senator to call on Biden to step aside on Thursday.
While political conventions typically serve as a coronation of the candidate that has already won the most delegates during the primaries, it wasn’t always that way. The Democratic Party hasn’t had an open convention since 1968 during disputes over the Vietnam War. If Biden were to leave the race, he would surrender the delegates he won during the primary, leaving them free to back someone else. To secure the party nomination, a candidate needs 1,976 delegate votes. Biden has already received almost 4,000.
At the convention, each candidate would be allowed 20 minutes of supporting speeches from the people nominating them, and then there would be a roll call vote by states in alphabetical order.
