What happens at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) now that Joe Biden has dropped out?
Though he is the incumbent, Joe Biden was nottechnicallythe Democratic nominee for president.
But if the person who won the primary steps down…
In that case, the 3,900 delegates meet at the convention to discuss who to nominate instead of Biden.
If one person wins a majority of these delegates, that person becomes the nominee, perNBC News.
And there is good reason to believe that that person will be Kamala Harris.
The President of the United States made the announcement on July 21.
What if no one wins a majority of the 3,900 delegates at the convention?
Rounds of voting will continue until there is one clear majority winner.
These superdelegates might include governors, members of congress, and former presidents.
If not Kamala Harris, then who?
Names being bandied about includeseveral governors.
