With the New Hampshire Primary and Super Tuesday now behind us, we explore the rules on how delegates are divided up following primary elections. We discuss what happens to a candidate's delegates if they drop out, how superdelegates decide who to vote for, and the impact this may have on each party's chosen nominee this summer.
Air date: Tuesday, March 10, 2020.
GUESTS:
- Josh Putnam - a political scientist who focuses on delegate selection rules, presidential campaigns and elections, and the author of Frontloading HQ blog.
- Ray Buckley - party chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party.
Recently, Putnam was interviewed for an article in The Washington Post about what happens to candidates' delegates when they drop out.
Buckley recently came on The Exchange to discuss New Hampshire's primary election.
