→Biden loses the New York Times
:All sitting members of the House and Senate are automatically awarded Superdelegate status (the GOP has no such rule, so incumbent members have to stand for election as a national delegate in state party conventions if they want to be a voting delegate at the National convention). This is one reason why the number varies from election cycle to election cycle. Superdelegates are designed to thwart "insurgent candidates", such as [[Lyndon LaRouche]], [[Bernie Sanders]], or [[Donald Trump]] had he run as a Democrat). Additionally, Governors, Lt. Governors, and "Big City" mayors are automatically awarded status. How a "Big City" is defined is anybody's guess.

:What routinely happens is, the hometown constituents get PO'd at a Senator or member of Congress, so in the GOP they deprive him of his status as a national delegate. Not so in the DNC. Once elected, they become part of an installed bureaucracy with voting rights in the national convention that primary voters cannot deprive them of.
