Presidential primaries and caucuses were organized by theDemocratic Party to select delegates to the2020 Democratic National Convention to determine the party's nominee forpresident in the2020 election . The primaries and caucuses took place in all 50 U.S. states, in theDistrict of Columbia , in five U.S. territories, and throughDemocrats Abroad . They occurred between February 3 and August 11, 2020.
Formervice president Joe Biden led in the polls throughout most of 2019. The2020 Iowa Democratic presidential caucuses were marred by technical problems; certified results of the caucus eventually showed MayorPete Buttigieg winning the most delegates, while SenatorBernie Sanders won the popular vote in the state. Sanders then won New Hampshire and Nevada. Biden, whose campaign fortunes had suffered from losses in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, made a comeback by overwhelmingly winning theSouth Carolina primary . After Biden won South Carolina, and one day before theSuper Tuesday primaries, several candidates dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden. Biden then won 10 out of 15 contests onSuper Tuesday .
On April 8, after Sanders withdrew from the race, Biden became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Biden and his running mate, U.S. senatorKamala Harris of California, were nominated forpresident andvice president by delegates at theDemocratic National Convention . Biden and Harris won the presidency and vice presidency in the general election on November 3, defeating incumbent PresidentDonald Trump and incumbent Vice PresidentMike Pence .
A total of 29 major candidates declared their 2020 Democratic presidential candidacies. With the exception of a brief period in October 2019 when SenatorElizabeth Warren experienced a surge in support, formervice president Joe Biden led in the polls throughout 2019.[ 3] Iowa caucuses . The certified results of the caucuses showed MayorPete Buttigieg winning the most delegates, while SenatorBernie Sanders won the popular vote in the state. Sanders then won theNew Hampshire primary in a narrow victory over Buttigieg before comfortably winning theNevada caucus , solidifying his status as the front-runner for the nomination.[ 4] [ 5] Asian ,Hispanic ,[ 6] [ 7]
Biden, whose campaign fortunes had suffered from losses in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, made a comeback by overwhelmingly winning theSouth Carolina primary . Biden was helped by strong support fromAfrican American voters, an endorsement from South Carolina U.S. RepresentativeJim Clyburn , and Democratic establishment concerns about nominating Sanders.[ 8] Super Tuesday primaries, several candidates dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden; before that time, polling saw Sanders leading with a plurality in mostSuper Tuesday states.[ 9] Super Tuesday , beating back challenges from Sanders, Warren, and formerNew York City MayorMichael Bloomberg and solidifying his lead.[ 9] COVID-19 pandemic , which was declared to be a global pandemic on March 11, 2020.[ 10] stay-at-home orders , and the overwhelming majority of campaign activitywas suspended .
On April 8, 2020, Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee after Sanders (the only other candidate remaining) withdrew from the race.[ 11] [ 12] [ 13] Amy Klobuchar and U.S. RepresentativeTulsi Gabbard .[ 14] presidential candidate SenatorKamala Harris would be his running mate.[ 15]
Biden and Harris were nominated forpresident andvice president by delegates at theDemocratic National Convention on August 18 and 19.[ 16] [ 17] Donald Trump and Vice PresidentMike Pence .
AfterHillary Clinton 's loss in theprevious election , many felt the Democratic Party lacked a clear leading figure.[ 18] 2016 primaries , which pitted Clinton againstBernie Sanders .[ 19] [ 20] 2018 midterm elections , Senate Democrats generally shifted to thepolitical left in relation to college tuition, healthcare, and immigration.[ 21] [ 22] 2018 elections saw the Democratic Party regain the House of Representatives for the first time in eight years, picking up seats in both urban and suburban districts.[ 23] [ 24]
On August 25, 2018, theDemocratic National Committee (DNC) members passed reforms to the Democratic Party's primary process in order to increase participation[ 25] [ 26] same-day orautomatic registration and same-day party switching. Caucuses are required to have absentee voting, or to otherwise allow those who cannot participate in person to be included.[ 25]
Independent of the results of the primaries and caucuses, the Democratic Party, from its group of party leaders and elected officials, also appointed 771[ a] superdelegates ) to participate in its national convention.
In contrast to all previous election cycles since superdelegates were introduced in 1984, superdelegates will no longer have the right to cast decisive votes on the convention's first ballot for the presidential nomination. They will be allowed to cast non-decisive votes if a candidate has clinched the nomination before the first ballot, or decisive votes on subsequent ballots in acontested convention .[ 27] [ 28]
There were a number of changes to the process of nomination at the state level. A decline in the number of caucuses occurred after 2016. Democrats in Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Washington all switched from various forms of caucuses to primaries. Hawaii, Kansas, and North Dakota switched to party-run "firehouse primaries ".[ 29]
This resulted in the lowest number of caucuses in the Democratic Party's recent history. Only three states (Iowa, Nevada, and Wyoming) and four territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas, and U.S. Virgin Islands) used them. Six states were approved in 2019 by the DNC to useranked-choice voting in the primaries: Alaska, Hawaii, Kansas, and Wyoming for all voters; Iowa and Nevada for absentee voters.[ 30] [ 31]
Several states which did not use paper ballots widely in 2016 and 2018,adopted them for the 2020 primary and general elections,[ 32] [ 33] [ 34] [ 35] audit samples of primary ballots to measure accuracy of the reported results.[ 36] Iowa Democratic party investigated inaccuracies in precinct reports, resolved enough to be sure the delegate allocations were correct, and decided it did not have authority or time to correct all errors.[ 37] [ 38] [ 39]
Rules for number of delegates [ edit ] Number of pledged delegates per state [ edit ] The number of pledged delegates from each state is proportional to the state's share of theelectoral college , and to the state's past Democratic votes for president.[ 40] [ 41]
Six pledged delegates are assigned to each territory, 44 to Puerto Rico, and 12 to Democrats Abroad. Each jurisdiction can also earn bonus delegates by holding primaries after March or in clusters of three or more neighboring states.[ 40]
Within states, a quarter of pledged delegates are allocated to candidates based on statewide vote totals, and the rest typically based on votes in each congressional district, although some states use divisions other than congressional districts. For example, Texas usesstate Senate districts.[ 42] [ 40] [ 40] district 12 has 7 delegates, or one per 109,000 people, and a swing district,CA-10 , which became Democratic in 2018, has 4 delegates, or one per 190,000 people.[ 43] [ 44] [ 45]
Candidate threshold [ edit ] Candidates who received under 15% of the votes in a state or district didn't get any delegates from that area. Candidates who got 15% or more of the votes divided delegates in proportion to their votes.[ 43] [ 46] [ 47] [ 48] [ 48] [ 49] [ 47]

Election day postponements and cancellations [ edit ] Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in the United States , a number of presidential primaries were rescheduled. On April 27, New York canceled its primary altogether on the grounds that there was only one candidate left with an active campaign.Andrew Yang responded with a lawsuit, arguing that the decision infringes on voting rights,[ 65] [ 66]
In addition, the DNC elected to delay the2020 Democratic National Convention from July 13–16 to August 17–20.[ 96]

This is an overview of the money being raised and spent by each campaign for the entire period running from January 1, 2017, to March 31, 2020, as it was reported to theFederal Election Commission (FEC). Total raised is the sum of all individual contributions (large and small), loans from the candidate, and transfers from other campaign committees. The last column, Cash On Hand (COH), has been calculated by subtracting the "spent" amount from the "raised" amount, thereby showing the remaining cash each campaign had available for its future spending as of February 29, 2020.[update]
