Summary:
On July 21, 2024, President Joseph Biden announced that he would no longer seek the Democratic
presidential nomination. This CRS Insight discusses selected issues that could be of interest to Congress
as the party’s nominating process proceeds toward the Democratic National Convention in August. It is
important to note that the issues discussed herein are developing rapidly. This Insight does not attempt to
cover all issues that might be relevant before the nominating process concludes. The Insight does not
provide legal analysis.
Because former President Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination on July 18, 2024, the
Insight does not discuss the now-concluded Republican process. Another CRS product discusses
frequently asked questions about the 2024 presidential nominating process for both major parties.
