48. super delegates are simpley unpledged delegates

who do not have to compete to be seated as a voting member of the Convention. If I wanted to attend the DNC, I have to go to my local county convention and become a voting delegate to the State convention and at that convention I have to be selected by the Convention as a voting delegate to the DNC from Texas. In other words I have to compete for that voting seat at the National Convention. Superdelegates do not.

In American politics, a superdelegate is an unpledged delegate to the Democratic National Convention who is seated automatically and chooses for themselves for whom they vote. These Democratic Party superdelegates (who make up slightly under 15% of all convention delegates) include elected officials, party activists and officials.

Democratic superdelegates are free to support any candidate for the presidential nomination. This contrasts with pledged delegates who are selected based on the party primaries and caucuses in each U.S. state, in which voters choose among candidates for the party's presidential nomination. On August 25, 2018, the Democratic National Committee agreed to reduce the influence of superdelegates by generally preventing them from voting on the first ballot at the Democratic National Convention, allowing their votes only in a contested nomination.

This is from a Wiki article here is the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate There may be some lobbyists, but most of the superdelegates are elected officials, former presidents/vicepresidents/ state and local party chairpersons, national committee men and committee women (who are elected at their state conventions), activists, union officials........
