Shouldn't the official portraits for both Biden and Harris be used? Seems to be protocol to use the official portrait for the candidates if they are the incumbents. Last time it happened for the democrats was the 2012 Convention, and both Obama and Biden are featured in the article with their official portraits from back then. Same for Trump and Pence on the article for the 2020 RNC. LucasBitencourt ( talk) 16:05, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Not sure where to add this. But, I believe Biden is the first incumbent to drop out after the primaries & before the convention. GoodDay ( talk) 20:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Just posting here since I've had to change it twice now, but a convention is not brokered until the first vote fails to reach a majority. The convention is not yet brokered, and WP:CRYSTAL applies. It's bordering on undue to even bring the possibility up in the lead. The Savage Norwegian 00:49, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
@ Spanneraol:, Williamson is a major candidate.
Looking at older version of the 2024 Democratic Party presidential candidates article, you can see that she qualified as a major candidate, per Wikipedia's standards. [1]. David O. Johnson ( talk) 03:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
@
MrJRSmith and
Glide08: I am confused by the line, In doing so, Biden freed the DNC delegates bound to him from their pledge to vote for his nomination, though it is unknown whether they are now free to vote for their desired candidate or have their pledge carried over to Harris.
To me, it seems already clear enough that they can vote for someone other than Harris without being a faithless delegate. But in any case, I don't get the "bound to him" part. Biden's delegates were not bound to him, which is why he didn't have to release them. Thus, I was wondering if there were objections from either of you to remove or alter the sentence. -- Super Goku V ( talk) 05:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
The situation vis-à-vis this article, is thus:
The President’s withdrawal has led to a bifurcation of the Convention into two parts: The virtual one and the TV show. The former is the one that counts obviously, and we have an abbreviated process akin to what happened in the days of yore. This is as much a part of the convention process as the speeches and the balloons. I’m sorry about forgetting the proper procedure for moving a section. But this was totally good faith.
The chart should stay as it is until they announce the results next week. Wowizowie57 ( talk) 12:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Would it read better if it was integrated into the other sections? David O. Johnson ( talk) 19:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
