WHAT DOES SUPERDELEGATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Superdelegate

A "superdelegate" is a delegate to the Democratic National Convention or Republican National Convention that is seated automatically, based solely on their status as current or former party leader or elected official. Others superdelegates are chosen during the primary season. All the superdelegates are free to support any candidate for the nomination. This contrasts with most convention delegates that are selected based on the party primaries and caucuses in each U.S. state, in which voters choose among candidates for the party's presidential nomination. Although originally coined and created to describe this type of Democratic delegate, the term has become widely used to describe these delegates in both parties, even though it is not an official term used by either party. For Democrats, superdelegates fall into two categories: ▪ delegates seated based on other positions they hold, who are formally described as "unpledged party leader and elected official delegates"...
