Presidential nominations
Presidential nominations refer to the process by which political parties select their candidate to run for President. This begins with primary elections and caucuses, where party members choose their preferred candidate, or delegates support a candidate based on votes. The culmination is the party's national convention, where delegates officially nominate the candidate. The process ensures that the nominee has broad support from party members and delegates, representing the party’s values and priorities, and prepares the candidate for the general election against opponents.
