If Biden drops from the presidential race, it would likely lead to a contested convention in August.
AdvertisementFor years, Democratic President Joe Biden has been plagued with critiques about his old age and perceived cognitive skills.
With no candidate having amassed a majority of the nation's delegates, the Democratic presidential nominee was decided at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where anti-war protesters angrily demonstrated outside.
AdvertisementMost of the state delegates at the convention voted for Humphrey, leading him to win the Democratic Party's nomination.
Unless Biden stuns the party and suddenly drops out, the current 81-year-old president is on a fast track to obtaining the Democratic presidential nomination.
