Help me understand. All the primaries and our votes just voided? [View all]

I voted for Biden to be my nominee. I fully respect Biden's choice to retire.

But how does this work? Is winner of the primary given the power to handoff his "spot" to someone else? Or does it automatically go their chosen VP candidate?

Or are we simply in uncharted territory? Can we "redo" all the primaries now?

So many questions.

As I understand the nomination rules of the DNC, Biden's endorsement of Harris is not a "release" of delegates. lees1975 Jul 21 #7
