You are pledged to vote for Bloomberg on the first ballot.

If Bloomberg is not on the first ballot or releases you, you can vote your conscience. Bloomberg has endorsed Biden but you, as the released delegate, are under no obligation to vote for Biden.

2nd Ballot onward ALL delegates are free to vote their conscience.

Another important thing: Delegates voting their conscience are free to vote for ANY natural born US Citizen over the age of 35., does not matter if they were a candidate or even if they are in politics. You could vote for your favorite high school teacher if you wanted to.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
