Or does he/she have to wait until the convention? I am trying to understand the way this stuff works, and wikipedia didn't have any information about it.

1. They can't "give" their delegates to anyone...
They can withdraw from the race at any time, endorse another candidate, and call on all their delegates to vote for that person but, once they've withdrawn, those delegates are all officially uncommitted, and may back whichever candidate they choose.

2. I thought they could give their delegates to another candidate
at the convention. That isn't true? How does a brokered convention work then?
