Primary and caucus season lasts from February to June, as each state and U.S. territory picks a candidate for their delegates to support at the Democratic National Convention, scheduled for July 13-16 in Milwaukee, Wis.
One of the reputed benefits of the U.S. primary process is that it leaves lots of time for a bandwagon effect that builds clear consensus around one candidate as their competitors drop out. That’s been more or less the case for every nomination race in both parties for the past 70 years. The less likely possibility is a, in which no candidate can manage enough delegates to win when the convention holds its first ballot.
The reason why superdelegates have less power this time is because most of them were early supporters of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 race, which challenger Bernie Sanders and his supporters said was an unfair advantage. Leaving them off the first ballot makes it easier for a close second-place challenger to survive.
