When a delegate "passes" at the nomination, it means they choose not to cast their vote or express support for a specific candidate during a nomination process, such as at a political convention. This can occur for various reasons, including uncertainty about the candidates, a desire to remain neutral, or a strategic decision to withhold support. Passing can impact the dynamics of the nomination process by leaving room for other candidates or indicating a lack of consensus.
