The Federalist Explains Democratic Party Rules for Presidential Nominations

Posted on by June 28, 2024

The Federalist has this article setting forth the rules for Democratic Party presidential selection.

The article is somewhat flawed because it mentions that Ohio formerly had a deadline for parties to certify their national tickets in advance of the Democratic 2024 national convention, and it does not say that on June 2, Ohio relaxed its law.  However, that’s because the article was published on May 29, before Ohio changed its deadline.

  6. 25th amendment sounds in order. We should be more worried about Biden’s fitness to serve for the next seven months than his fitness to be the Democratic nominee. He won’t win another term. There may not be another term for anyone to win if the man we saw last night continues to hold the nuclear codes. Let’s put country over party.

  7. Ratings are meaninglessness in today’s multi media environment.

  8. I could not be happier with the results of the communist news network debate. Communists and Trump are winners. I’m seeing red! Biden and Democrats blew it and lost. Special shout out to the US Supreme Court and it’s TRUMP nominees for an assist in making communist revolution sooner rather than later.

    Ballooning U.S. budget deficit is killing the American dream

    The government’s deficit problem is creating an income problem for Americans, economists warn.
    Last week, the Congressional Budget Office raised its estimate for the government deficit this year by a whopping 27%, or $408 billion over its February forecast, to $1.9 trillion.

  17. With a virtual convention they can nominate Biden and announce before the real convention that Biden is withdrawing.

    They can open the presidential nomination process and declare that the presidential candidate should be able to choose their running mate.

  18. They’d still be the delegates selected by the Biden campaign. They’d still have the problem that Harris is even less popular, and passing her over will create other problems for them.

  19. ABOLISH THE MINORITY RULE GERRYMANDER SUPER-TIMEBOMB EC AND A-L-L THE R-O-T WITH IT —

  21. @Pig Farmer,

    The delegates are not selected by the Biden campaign. It is also assumed that Biden’s withdrawal would not be wholly involuntary.

    But having the replacement nominee be chosen by the actual convention would produce more enthusiasm for the replacement. And if they stated it as “principle” that the presidential candidate choose their running mate it would be OK to skip over Harris.

  22. They are selected by the Biden campaign because they’re pledged to Biden, so any that decide to unpledge themselves can be replaced.

    It wouldn’t be ok to skip over Harris because she is identified as a black woman, regardless of what percent black she actually is. Michelle Obama, who is not actually a woman, is the only black prominent enough to where this wouldn’t cause a problem for them. S/He isn’t interested.

    Cooperation from Biden is a lot to assume.

  23. Assuming the Federalist is correct, which they regularly are, wouldn’t the “DNC’s Call for the 2024 Convention, Article IX.F.3.d” automatically release all pledged delegates from their pledge? In fact, doesn’t it sound quite plausible that such is the entire purpose of that sub-clause?
    Biden doesn’t have many friends in the Democratic Party – I can’t imagine why /s. The Clintons hate him, the Obamas dislike him, Harris and Pelosi want to get rid of him. So I don’t see much standing in the way of Biden getting removed, even if he does not wish to “gracefully bow out”, which should take little convincing. Sure, “doctor” Jill and Hunter will throw a fit about getting removed from power, but they are hardly a match for any of the factions within the DP.

    As for Big Mike claiming he isn’t interested, I don’t buy it at all. As I’ve said before, even if he doesn’t make a grab this election, sooner or later he will run for office. Maybe after coming out, because then he can try to campaign on becoming the first trans president, perhaps the first “woman” president as well, just like his “husband” campaigned on becoming the first black president despite being completely ineligible.
    But even in this election, I give Big Mike more chance of being the Democrat nominee than Newsom, Buttigieg, Harris, Warren or Clinton, who appear to be the other names getting floated as Biden’s potential replacements.

  24. Biden will be the nominee, simple and plain. If they were going to replace him it would have long since happened.
