List of automatic delegates at the 2020 Democratic National Convention


This list tracks the presumed support for given United States presidential candidates among the 775 unpledged delegates who were eligible to cast a vote at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The convention was postponed to August 17–20, 2020, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the United States. The 8 unpledged delegates from Democrats Abroad carried half-votes at the convention, yielding a forecast total of 771 votes. Unpledged delegates represented about 16% of the overall convention votes, though reforms severely restricted their ability to vote on a first ballot, and came from several categories of prominent Democratic Party members:
Automatic delegates are "unpledged" in the sense that they themselves decide which candidate to support. Pledged delegates can change their vote if no candidate is elected on the first ballot and can even vote for a different candidate on the first ballot if they are "released" by the candidate they are pledged to. Automatic delegates, on the other hand, can change their vote purely of their own volition. With the exception of the eight DNC members from the Democrats Abroad, who each receive a half-vote, all automatic delegates are entitled to one vote. Throughout this list, those who qualify under multiple categories are considered as DPLs first, then as sitting officials, and then as DNC members.
The list below is based on the most recent information on how unpledged delegates have endorsed candidates in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. Data is sourced from FiveThirtyEights endorsement tracker where more recent data is not available.
