Answer
Hi,
The democrats have super delegates who accounts for 20% of overall delegates and can show support to who they want at the convection. In republicans, a candidate only wins a nomination if he/she attains at least 1191 delegates’ votes at the convection.
Explanation
Prior to a presidential election, delegates are selected to represent states at the convection. Delegates at the convection cast votes in favor of a single candidate. In a democratic convention, 2025 delegates are needed to win a nomination out of the 4050 Democratic Party delegates.
Good luck!
