What happens now that Biden has withdrawn?
For anyone interested in the implications of Biden's withdrawal and the potential candidates who could enter the race, you can find the latest information here.
With Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race, the immediate focus shifts to selecting a new Democratic nominee. Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, positioning her as the frontrunner. The final decision, however, rests with the Democratic delegates, who will gather at the party’s national convention in August to cast their votes.
The process of selecting a new nominee will involve a virtual roll call in early August. About 4,700 delegates, including both pledged and superdelegates, will vote, CNBC reports. If no candidate wins a majority on the first ballot, delegates will hold additional rounds of voting until they select a nominee. During this period, Democratic leaders and candidates will engage in intense negotiations and coalition building.
