Remember that the Dems have super delegates just in case the people choose the wrong candidate. What will happen is that Biden will win enough committed delegates to win the nomination but the supers remain uncommitted. Someone will convince him to step aside, which in turn will allow him to officially release his delegates to the candidate the DNC chooses.
What will be interesting is if they put up Heels Up or they pivot to Newsome. If they pivot, they risk losing a lot of the black vote. Doesnt mean they'll vote Trump or Kennedy, it just means that they'll sit this one out
