Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumIn March 2019 Bernie Sanders swore an official affirmation that he will run as a Democrat
and, if nominated and elected, serve as a Democrat.
He also swore to his acknowledgment that the Chair of the Party -- not Bernie -- will determine if a candidate has "established substantial support for the Democratic nomination. . . "
If he doesn't get a majority, and the party gives the nod to a nominee viewed as a uniter, we will see if Bernie is a man of his word.
ON UPDATE: The day before he signed this affirmation that he is a Democrat, he filed to run for the Senate as a Independent in 2024.

(108,925 posts)about whether he has substantial support for the nomination.
So if he arrives with only 30% of the delegates, and the decision goes to 2nd or 3rd rounds of voting, he's agreed to accept the determination of the Chair.
