2020 Democratic Primary

The 2020 Democratic Primary was the process by which Democrats selected their candidate for the U.S. presidency. It involved a series of state-level contests—primaries and caucuses—where voters chose among numerous candidates. Over several months, candidates campaigned across the country, gaining delegates based on their performance. Joe Biden ultimately secured enough delegates to clinch the nomination, while other prominent candidates, like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, suspended their campaigns. The primary helped determine the Democratic nominee, who would then run against Donald Trump in the November 2020 presidential election.
