Carter gains momentum as delegates tilt toward nomination
Carter’s surge after winning 218 of 540 delegates draws endorsements from Wallace and Daley while Udall and Humprey aides weigh future moves. Mondale hints at possible vice presidential aim as Carter signs on with growing support from Askew and Brown, with California results showing Brown leading. Carter could surpass a first ballot majority if uncommitted delegates align, and party unity discussions intensify across Washington, Plains, and Montgomery.
