US President Joe Biden steps off Air Force One as he arrives at Hagerstown Regional Airport in Hagerstown, Maryland, June 20, 2024, on his way to Camp David.
Those delegates are set to vote for their presidential nominee in a virtual roll call in early August, before the Democratic National Convention.
If Biden ends his campaign before voting begins, the pledged delegates could cast their ballots for a new candidate.
According to the DNC rules, If no candidate won a majority on that first ballot, then the more than 700 "superdelegates" could join in subsequent votes.
The voting would then continue until one candidate won a simple majority of delegates.
