Clyburn floats idea of 'mini primary' that could pick Biden replacement before DNC

During an interview on CNN, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said that if Biden were to drop out of the presidential race, the Democratic Party would likely hold a “mini-primary” to determine the party’s presidential nominee.

Ahead of the Democratic National Convention in August, the party will hold a virtual roll call to ensure Biden’s name appears on the ballot in Ohio. If he were to drop out of the race, Clyburn said the party would just use the already-scheduled virtual meeting to determine the nominee.
