As soon as this Thursday, delegates in the Democratic Party will hold a virtual vote to select their new nominee. Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to run unopposed. Here’s more on what it means and how the vote will work:
Who gets to vote?
The nearly 4,000 pledged delegates allocated during the Democratic primary process will be voting on the nomination.
Do Biden’s delegates automatically go to Harris?
The vast majority of the party’s delegates were pledged to President Biden before he dropped out and endorsed Harris. These delegates weren’t automatically assigned to Harris, but within the 48 hours of her campaign launch, an overwhelming majority of the delegates said they would back her.
