70. It doesn't work that way.

District and at-large delegates vote. They were elected by district delegates at state conventions to represent specific candidates. They are bound to those candidates. Super delegates don't get to vote in the first round. Meaning congressional members and governors don't vote.

It would require a lot to happen for a new nominee to be elected. And there would be a lot of unhappy delegates if it happened.

I believe that's an overly pessimistic take. I hope whomever is the candidate will be supported. harumph Jul 2024 #22

Overly pessimistic view? LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #69

You do realize that changes were made to several primaries to prevent that. oldsoftie Jul 2024 #81

What changes. Which primaries? LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #86

For one, FL canceled theirs. oldsoftie Jul 2024 #92

Has any of these persons advocating the replacement of President Biden looked at ballot access laws? LetMyPeopleVote Jul 2024 #59

DING DING DING!!! 2naSalit Jul 2024 #62

These reps calling for him to drop out, why didn't they just go ahead and beat him in the primaries. Little late now. Walleye Jul 2024 #2

Because we were consistently assured Voltaire2 Jul 2024 #16

Angie Craig's contact information EarlG Jul 2024 #6

The form will not allow me to comment. The portion requesting a state will not allow for anything but Minnesota. shrike3 Jul 2024 #55

Phone calls might be more effective. Ocelot II Jul 2024 #57

I'm not on twitter. But a phone call is indeed an option. shrike3 Jul 2024 #58

Eat/bash her too. Wonder how many Democrats will remain untarnished after this? Silent Type Jul 2024 #9

They're doing it to themselves. shrike3 Jul 2024 #42

Maybe they should stop bashing the president SocialDemocrat61 Jul 2024 #49

Maybe they are concerned about Democrats losing across the board in 2024. I darn sure am. Silent Type Jul 2024 #50

Then they should campaign harder SocialDemocrat61 Jul 2024 #53

Your concern is noted dweller Jul 2024 #60

They're aiding and abetting a media tsunami set to do that anyway if we don't fight back. shrike3 Jul 2024 #90

I love Angie but we really disagree on this DFW Jul 2024 #25

Perhaps her dropping out or resigning might be a good idea? Autumn Jul 2024 #28

I call on her to step down instead. bigtree Jul 2024 #31

Who cares? LetMyPeopleVote Jul 2024 #43

She is basing her decision on just the debate. LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #51

Very disappointing. Ocelot II Jul 2024 #54

Have to wonder if Dean Phillips is the reason she is trying to push Biden out? LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #72

No. It's 1) she's in a vulnerable LEAN-D District and 2) MN is moving into vulnerable territory for the President brooklynite Jul 2024 #85

That is all she has to offer to get support? LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #89

Not clear what you mean... brooklynite Jul 2024 #91

How are they helping their own campaign LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #93

Seems to me that these congresspeople are *creating* concern Ocelot II Jul 2024 #97

This kind of stuff needs to stop IMHO BlueKota Jul 2024 #63

I won't share my thoughts rt now. nt BootinUp Jul 2024 #64

Its not up to us, its not up to any "concerned" Dems, its up to President Biden, the buck stops there. nt ImNotGod Jul 2024 #66
