Current DNC rules, influenced by Sanders after the 2016 election, moved superdelegates to the second round of voting. This setup increases the likelihood of a brokered convention, a scenario not seen since the 1952 nomination of Adlai Stevenson.

Paul explained that if no candidate reaches 1,144 delegates on the first ballot, delegates become "uncommitted" and can vote their conscience. Paul also defended his decision to refuse Secret Service protection, calling it a form of "welfare" that costs taxpayers $50,000 per day.
