By The Conversation Philip Klinkner, Hamilton CollegeNow that Joe Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the nominee, it will ultimately be up to Democratic National Convention delegates to formally select a new nominee for their party. This will mark the first time in over 50 years that a major party nominee was selected outside of the democratic process of primaries and caucuses.

As the daughter of non- citizens; she is an anchor baby. She is not eligibl...
