Notes change
- ↑ 2,337 of 4,672 delegates needed to win any subsequent ballots at a contested convention lasting more than a single round of balloting. As of April 2024, the number of extra unpledged delegates (superdelegates), who after the first ballot at a contested convention participate in any subsequently needed nominating ballots (together with the 3,934 pledged delegates), is expected to be 738, but the exact number of superdelegates is still subject to change due to possible deaths, resignations, accessions, or potential election as a pledged delegate.[1]
- ↑ In addition, the primaries in Delaware and Florida were canceled, with Biden being awarded all pledged delegates from those states.
- ↑ Uygur is not eligible to serve as president as he is not a natural-born citizen, but he claims he can run for the office.[20]
