    President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the race for the presidency has left the race for the Democratic nomination in a confusing state.

    Who are Delaware's delegates pledged to?

    Delaware did not hold a Democratic presidential primary. According to state code, if only one candidate files for a party's nomination by the deadline, the candidate is declared the winner. Biden was running unopposed in Delaware so all 19 delegates were awarded to him.

    What happens to the delegates?

    Since Biden dropped out, the 3,900 delegates already pledged would regroup at the convention and cast their first ballot for a new candidate. The new candidate needs the majority of the delegates. If the vote doesn't produce a clear winner with a majority of delegates, then the additional 700 superdelegates will also vote, and continue to vote until there is a winner.
