Was sind Delegierte und Superdelegierte?
During the primaries, presidential candidates must win the support of delegates—individuals who pledge to support them during their party& 39;s national nominating convention. These delegates are usually made up of local party leaders and activists.Since the disastrous 1968 Democratic National Convention—when Hubert Humphrey became the nominee despite failing to win a single primary—most delegates are bound to follow the popular will and support the winner of their state’s primary or caucus.
