From Kingmakers to Voters: The End of Party Conventions Picking Presidential Nominees

In a surprising political twist, President Joe Biden has officially withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race. In a move that has captured national attention, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his preferred nominee.

This development shifts the responsibility to the Democratic National Convention delegates, who will now have the task of formally selecting a new nominee for their party.

This event is a significant departure from the norm. It marks the first occasion in over half a century where a major party nominee is chosen outside of the traditional democratic process of primaries and caucuses.

With this unexpected turn, the road to the White House for the Democratic Party has taken an unprecedented route, setting the stage for a historic 2024 election.
