Biden says DNC delegates free to back someone else but ‘it’s not gonna happen’

Published July 11, 2024 9:23pm ET



President Joe Biden acknowledged that his Democratic delegates are “free to do whatever they want,” — but said what they want is to back him.

“Obviously they’re free to do whatever they want. But I got overwhelming support, overwhelming support,” he said in a Thursday evening press conference. “I won — I forget how many votes I won in the primary, but [it was] overwhelming. And so tomorrow, if all of the sudden I show up at the convention and everybody says we want somebody else, that’s the democratic process. It’s not gonna happen.”
