2016 Democratic National Convention
Fernandez Rundle was a superdelegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention from Florida.[1] Rundle was one of 32 superdelegates from Florida. Superdelegates to the 2016 Democratic National Convention were not bound by the results of their state’s primary or caucus to support a specific presidential candidate. Rundle supported Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.[2] Clinton formally won the Democratic nomination for president on July 26, 2016.[3]
What is a superdelegate?
Superdelegates in 2016 were automatic delegates to the Democratic National Convention, meaning that, unlike regular delegates, they were not elected to this position. Also unlike regular delegates, they were not required to pledge their support to any presidential candidate, and they were not bound by the results of their state's presidential primary election or caucus. In 2016, superdelegates included members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of Congress, Democratic governors, and distinguished party leaders, including former presidents and vice presidents. All superdelegates were free to support any presidential candidate of their choosing at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[4]
Florida primary results

She carried Miami-Dade County, where the city of Miami is located, by roughly 50 percentage points. According to exit poll data, Clinton won nearly every major demographic in the state, including men, women, young and old voters, and white and non-white voters. Clinton won non-white voters, who made up 52 percent of the Democratic electorate in Florida, by 75 percent.[5] Clinton also won the Florida Democratic primary in 2008.

Delegate allocation
Florida had 246 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 214 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[6][7]
Thirty-two party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[6][8]
