2020 candidates connect early with super delegates amid fear of convention chaos.
The last time Democrats went into their convention without a presumptive nominee already having a majority of delegates was 1984. And you have to go all the way back to 1952 to find the last time it took multiple rounds of ballots to pick the standardbearer.
"This seems to be a narrative during every contested primary, but if recent history tells us anything, we feel confident that our party will come together and support whoever the eventual Democratic nominee is," said Patrice Taylor, the DNC's director of party affairs."Our party understands that Donald Trump is a huge threat to our country, and our party’s entire goal is to be united in the effort to beat him.
While there are some differences between a"brokered,""contested" and"open" convention, the terms are often used interchangeably. The key factor in all is that the outcome of the convention is not pre-determined going in. Meanwhile, some of the biggest and most delegate-rich states in the country, including California and Texas, moved up their primaries on the calendar and will vote just one month after first-in-the-nation Iowa, potentially splitting their hundreds of delegates among multiple candidates in a yet-to-settle field.
Of course, it's entirely possible someone will dominate the early primary and caucus states next year. Then front-loaded California and Texas could double down on that candidate and a presumptive nominee could emerge even earlier than in the past.
