Speaking to ABC News this week, former President Jimmy Carter said he will not endorse a candidate before the Denver National Convention:
"The only thing I know is that, I have not made an endorsement, and don't intend to, until the time of the convention."
He also laid out his view of the superdelegates' role:
Carter said he agreed that superdelegates should not overturn the will of the people but that "any superdelegate who wishes to deviate from that opinion should be perfectly free to do so." He went on to warn that "it would be a very serious mistake for the Democratic Party... if a candidate had the majority of popular votes, the majority of delegates and a majority of states -- all three -- were the superdelegates to vote contrary to that, I think it would be very difficult to explain."
In other words, for Carter, it boils down to a trifecta of:
- majority of popular vote
- majority of delegates
- majority of states
