What happens next now that Biden has dropped out?

The next nominee must begin locking down the endorsements of delegates.

President Joe Biden just announced he is dropping out of the presidential race, a seismic moment not only for this year’s presidential election but American history.

Biden’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris gives her a major leg-up in the fight for the nomination, but that doesn’t mean it’s a slam dunk. Although Biden faced only nominal opposition in the Democratic primary and won nearly every contest, he was not yet the party’s official nominee, and he cannot make a unilateral decision.
