Incumbent President Joe Biden had repeatedly expressed his intent to run for re-election since 2021, although there was speculation in the first two years of his presidency that he might not seek a second term due to his age and low approval ratings.[17][18] Former Democratic House representatives, including Carolyn Maloney,[19] Joe Cunningham,[20] and Tim Ryan,[21] had publicly said Biden should not run. On July 28, 2022, Representative Dean Phillips became the first incumbent Democratic member of Congress to say President Biden should not run for re-election and called for "generational change" pointing to Biden's age.[22][23] There was also speculation that Biden might face a primary challenge, especially from a member of the Democratic Party's progressive faction.[24][25]

After Democrats outperformed expectations in the 2022 midterm elections, many believed the chances that Biden would run for and win his party's nomination had increased.[26][27] On April 25, 2023, Biden announced via a video that he would be running for re-election.[28] Eventually, three main primary opponents emerged; self-help author Marianne Williamson declared her candidacy in March,[29] Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist and environmental attorney,[30] declared in April,[31] while Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota declared in October.[32] Phillips campaigned as a younger alternative to Biden, who would be a stronger opponent to Trump. Phillips argued Biden would be a weak general election candidate due to his age and low approval ratings.[33][34][35] Phillips cited poll numbers and the president’s age as reasons to pass on the torch to a new generation. In public, Phillips was ridiculed. In private, others in the Democratic Party shared his concerns.[36][37] Before launching his campaign, Phillips reportedly reached out to other elected Democratic officials, such as Governors Gretchen Whitmer and JB Pritzker, to convince them to enter the presidential primary race to oppose Biden, but they declined to speak with him directly.[38][39] Additionally, the Uncommitted National Movement, supported by some Muslim Americans, Arab Americans, progressives, and socialists began advocating in 2024 for an uncommitted vote in protest against Biden due to his support for Israel during the Gaza war.[40][41][42]

Kennedy withdrew from the Democratic primaries in October 2023 to run as an independent candidate.[43] Williamson suspended her campaign following the Nevada primary in February 2024,[44] before unsuspending her campaign following the Michigan primary later that month.[45] On March 6, 2024, Phillips suspended his campaign and endorsed Biden.[46] Phillips received the second-highest number of delegates in the primaries of any candidate (four delegates gained).[13][47] Biden lost American Samoa to venture capitalist Jason Palmer,[f] becoming the first incumbent president to lose a contest while appearing on the ballot since Jimmy Carter in 1980.[48] However, he won every other contest by a large margin. Biden became the presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic Party on March 12, 2024, by securing over 1,968 pledged delegates.[49]

President Biden withdrew his candidacy on July 21, following a series of age and health concerns, writing that doing so was "in the best interest of my party and the country". He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor.[50] And though Biden had endorsed Harris as the new candidate at the top of the ticket, there was no obligation for the delegates to follow suit.[51] By the next day, Harris had secured the non-binding support of enough uncommitted delegates that were previously pledged to Biden to make her the presumptive nominee.[52] Harris became the nominee following a virtual roll call with the support of approximately 97.21% of all the delegates and faced opposition from 52 delegates voting for other candidates which were counted as "present" as well as 79 abstentions, most notably from Representative Mary Peltola, Representative Jared Golden, and Senator Jon Tester.[53][54][55] Harris became the first Democratic nominee to be nominated despite not actively campaigning in the primaries since Hubert Humphrey in the 1968 United States presidential election, and the first to be nominated without winning the primaries since the modern Democratic Party primary procedure was created in 1972.

Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, would ultimately lose the election to the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and JD Vance.[56]

Vice-presidential candidate selection

Main article: 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection

On January 19, 2022, President Biden confirmed that Vice President Kamala Harris would again be his running mate in his 2024 re-election campaign.[130]

Some Democrats expressed skepticism about Biden choosing Harris again as his running mate, as she had also seen similar low approval ratings to Biden. In January 2023, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren said in a radio interview that she supported Biden's reelection bid, but stopped short of supporting Harris.[131] She later clarified her position, saying she supported the Biden–Harris ticket.[132]

Following Biden's withdrawal, several names were suggested as possible running mates if Harris was nominated to replace him. These included Kentucky governor Andy Beshear, North Carolina governor Roy Cooper, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro, and Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer.[133]

On August 6, 2024, Harris chose Minnesota governor Tim Walz to be her running mate.[134]

February 2023

On February 4, the Democratic National Committee approves a new primary calendar, moving South Carolina to February 3, followed by Nevada and New Hampshire on February 6, Georgia on February 13, and Michigan on February 27. Iowa, which traditionally goes first, would then be held later in the primary season.[203][204] The DNC gives Georgia and New Hampshire an extended deadline of June to modify their state laws so they can comply with the new dates (New Hampshire state law mandates them to hold the first primary in the country, while Georgia state law requires them to hold both the Democratic and Republican primaries on the same day), but this remains unlikely to happen since both states have Republican-controlled state legislatures.[205]

On October 24, with New Hampshire state officials moving forward in accordance with their state law mandating them to hold the first primary in the country, denying the DNC's request to hold it after South Carolina's, Biden campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez states that he will not appear on the New Hampshire primary ballot.[225]

On October 26, a man attempts to trespass on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s residence in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and is arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department.[226]

The same day, Politico published an interview with Democratic Party presidential primary challenger Jason Palmer, in which he touted his status as the youngest Democratic presidential candidate and one of the youngest candidates in either party. He called on Biden and all older lawmakers to "pass the torch" to a younger generation of political leaders such as Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, or Jared Polis.[243]

On January 20, Phillips tells Axios that he thinks it would be "impossible" for Biden to do the job for four more years. And even being so blunt as to say, "At that stage of life, it is impossible ultimately to conduct, to prosecute the office of the American presidency in the way that this country in the world needs right now. That is an absolute truth."[244]

July 2024

On July 2, Marianne Williamson re-enters the race for a third time.[295]

On July 15, the DNC sent an email asking delegates to indicate on a drop-down menu on who they will vote for: Joe Biden, Jason Palmer (who won American Samoa), Rep. Dean Phillips, or "uncommitted." Answers to that questionnaire reportedly essentially gave the DNC a whip count on how firm – or soft – support for Biden was among actual delegates.[296]

On July 21, President Biden suspends his campaign.[297] Vice President Kamala Harris announces her campaign and is immediately endorsed by Biden.[298]

Also on July 21, Representative Dean Phillips proposed a straw poll of delegates ahead of the Democratic National Convention to determine the party's top four presidential contenders, who would then take part in four town halls outlining their platforms.[299] After the town halls, the delegates would vote to choose the nominee.[300][301]

On July 22, Senator Joe Manchin rules out a campaign for president, stating that he would have preferred an open convention.[302]

Also on July 22, a majority of President Biden's pledged delegates pledge support for Harris, making her the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party.[303]

On July 23, U.S. House Representative Mary Peltola of Alaska's at-large congressional district and co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition for the 118th Congress said "she has never endorsed anyone for president and does not intend to start with Harris."[304]

On July 24, Jason Palmer releases his delegates and encouraged them to vote for Harris at the convention.[305]

Also, on July 24, the Democratic National Committee votes to adopt new rules for an early virtual nomination vote in the first week of August. The new rules allow superdelegates to vote during the signature collection and on the first ballot of a virtual roll call for the presidential nomination without a candidate having won an overwhelming majority of pledged delegates earned by them in the primaries.[306][307][308]

On July 25, U.S. House Representative Jared Golden of Maine's 2nd congressional district and co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition for the 118th Congress told Axios he would "absolutely not" commit to voting for the Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in November and is "going to wait and see what she puts forward and what her vision for the future of the country is.".[309]

On July 26, U.S. House Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington's 3rd congressional district and co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition for the 118th Congress said that she has "no plans" to endorse Harris. Perez was the last of the three members in the Blue Dog Coalition caucus's leadership, who publicly announced that they were not endorsing Harris for president.[310]

On July 29, Marianne Williamson ends her candidacy for the third and final time.[311]

August 2024

On August 2, Vice President Kamala Harris earned a majority of delegate votes in the DNC roll call.[54]

On August 3, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported that Phillips said, “If people write anything, I just hope that they might write if [Biden] had debated me then and he had been on one stage, unscripted, with a national audience, and he demonstrated that decline then, this would have been very different circumstances.” He continued, “And that's what I was trying to do.”[312]

On August 4, twenty-nine Uncommitted delegates from eight states took part in a virtual roll call where they voted for Palestinian victims over Harris.[313]

On August 5, delegate voting closed, and Vice President Kamala Harris became the official presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.[53] 52 delegates voted abstained or voted against Harris, including Representative Mary Peltola, Representative Jared Golden, and Senator Jon Tester.[54]

On August 6, Harris chose Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate.[134]

Early developments

Biden declared his intent in January 2022 to run for re-election, keeping Kamala Harris as his running mate.[314] On September 15, he told Scott Pelley in a CBS 60 Minutes interview that he had not yet committed to run.[315] In a private conversation with civil-rights activist Al Sharpton on October 3, he reportedly told Sharpton that he was seeking re-election.[316] On October 11, he told Jake Tapper in an interview on CNN that he would decide whether or not to seek re-election after the 2022 midterm elections.[317]

Throughout 2022, several prominent Democrats publicly urged Biden not to run for a second term. On June 23, shortly after winning the Democratic nomination in the South Carolina gubernatorial race, former U.S. Representative Joe Cunningham told CNN that he believed Biden would be too old by the end of his second term and should not run in 2024. CNN pointed out that Biden had endorsed Cunningham in his 2018 and 2020 campaigns.[20] In July, U.S. Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota said he believed that Democrats should nominate someone from a younger generation in 2024, and fellow Minnesota Representative Angie Craig agreed with him the following week.[21] On August 1, then-U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney told The New York Times that she thought Biden should not run in 2024 and that she believed he would not run. She later apologized and said that he should run again, though she reiterated her belief that he would not.[19] In September, U.S. Representative and Ohio U.S. Senate nominee Tim Ryan similarly called for a "generational move" away from Biden during an interview with a local TV station; Forbes Magazine noted that Biden, who had endorsed Ryan, headlined a rally with him just hours after the interview aired.[21]

In April 2023, Christale Spain became the first black woman to be the Chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party; with the responsibility of organizing the party's first-in-the-nation primary.[318]

Format changes

Democrats in Idaho, who held caucuses in 2012 and 2016 but switched to a firehouse primary by mail for the 2020 election, will switch back to in-person caucuses due to the abolition of the presidential primary by the Idaho Legislature in 2023.[319] Similarly, the abolition of the state-run presidential primary in Missouri in 2022 caused Democrats in Missouri to switch to a closed, ranked-choice firehouse presidential primary for 2024.[320]

Controversies

Primary schedule

See also: Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire presidential primary § "First primary" status and efforts to change

President Biden sent a letter on December 1, 2022, to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), requesting that diversity should be emphasized in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries. On February 4, 2023, the DNC formally approved the new 2024 primary calendar, moving South Carolina to hold its race first on February 3, followed by Nevada and New Hampshire on February 6. One member of the Rules and Bylaws Committee who supported this new plan, Lee Saunders, further said it will give a better representation of the composition of the country.[321] Members of the Iowa Democratic Party and the New Hampshire Democratic Party opposed the move, since they would no longer be the first two states to hold their races.[322] The move was also criticized by some progressives, who argued that the move was intended to benefit more moderate candidates.[323][324] On October 6, the DNC and the Iowa Democratic Party reached a compromise in which the in-person caucuses could still be held in January, but delegate-determining mail-in voting would be held through Super Tuesday, March 5.[221] The DNC and the New Hampshire Democratic Party did not reach a compromise. In October 2023, the manager for the Biden campaign, Julie Chávez Rodriguez, confirmed in a letter to the chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party Raymond Buckley that Biden would not appear on the primary ballot in order to comply with the DNC's calendar.[325] Pro-Biden New Hampshire Democrats, including Kathy Sullivan (the former chairwoman of the state Democratic party) and former Representatives Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter, launched a formal write-in campaign on October 30.[326] There were no delegates at stake in the New Hampshire primary because the Democratic National Committee said state party officials violated national party rules by scheduling its contest earlier than allowed.[327] On January 8, 2024, after the Democratic national party dismissed the state of New Hampshire's upcoming primary as “meaningless” the New Hampshire Assistant Attorney General Brendan O’Donnell fired off a cease-and-desist order to the DNC, saying that instructing state Democrats to “educate the public” that the primary is “meaningless” violates the state’s voter suppression laws.[328]

Ballot access denials

The primaries in Florida and Delaware were canceled, with Biden receiving all pledged delegates, while in Alaska, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Indiana, no candidates other than Biden appeared on the ballot, partially due to decisions by the state Democratic parties in those states.[329][330][331] In Guam, voters could only cast ballots for individuals elected to serve as national convention delegates, all of whom were pledged to support Biden.[332] The Phillips and Williamson campaigns criticized many of the decisions as undemocratic.[333][334] The primary challengers had not received the necessary number of signatures in Tennessee[335][336] and North Carolina,[337] while the Florida Democratic Party stated that the challengers did not reach out to them until November 29, 2023, one day before the Florida Secretary of State's November 30 deadline to submit candidates, and the state party had already made its submission ahead of the deadline before November 29.[338][339] An attorney who supported Phillips[y] questioned why the state party did not contact the challengers when it made its submission ahead of the deadline.[341] Andrew Yang who was assisting Phillips' cause told ABC News, "What's happening in Florida is important -- do we live in a democracy or not? If the Democrats can simply cancel their own primaries they should change their name to something else."[342] On February 2, the Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously ruled that election officials must include Phillips on the presidential primary ballot in Wisconsin.[343] Phillips won his lawsuit against State Justice Department attorneys representing the elections commission who were attempting to keep him off the ballot.[344]

Biden's participation

Despite no incumbent president ever having participated in a primary season debate,[345] a June 2023 poll by USA Today and Suffolk University found that 8 in 10 Democratic voters wanted to see Biden debate the other major Democratic candidates. Among Biden supporters, 72% said they would like to see him debate in the primaries with other major Democratic candidates.[346] Despite all this, the DNC did not support hosting any official debates, and Biden did not participate in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential debates and forums unsanctioned by the DNC.[347][348]

Challengers having difficulties

Phillips accused representatives of the Biden campaign of using access to pressure liberal media outlets into blackballing and not platforming him.[349] The New York Times reported that during his campaign, Phillips "found himself “deplatformed,” taken off the ballot in some states, and rarely invited on television to make his case."[350] Phillips argued that the Democratic establishment was choking off his challenge because it couldn't accept that ‘Biden is going to get creamed’ by Trump in November.[351] Phillips also accused the Democratic National Committee of actively obstructing Democrats and Independents from ballot access — "bleeding campaigns dry" by handing out lawsuits against non-incumbent candidates and "absurd signature requirements."[352] When asserting that his campaign was hampered by ballot access policies and a lack of candidate debates, Phillips issued an apology to Bernie Sanders. He regretted his previous disbelief in Sanders's 2016 campaign's complaints of biased rules by the DNC governing the presidential primary and admitted that he now thought Sanders was right.[353] Phillips also argued that Democrats who had concerns about President Biden were "suppressed and disenfranchised" during the 2024 primaries.[354] Phillips said that the DNC's letter stating that New Hampshire's presidential primary was 'meaningless' and not to seat any delegates to the convention based on the results was, “one of the most egregious affronts to democracy that I’ve ever seen in my entire lifetime as an American, period.”[328] In a statement to Politico, Phillips called the handling of the primary process by the Florida Democratic Party a “blatant act of electoral corruption” and demanded Biden “condemn and immediately address” it. He also said “Americans would expect the absence of democracy in Tehran, not Tallahassee. The intentional disenfranchisement of voters runs counter to everything for which our Democratic Party and country stand. Our mission as Democrats is to defeat authoritarians, not become them.”[355] During an appearance on “Meet the Press NOW,” Phillips criticized Biden's re-election effort, stating that “The president is not a threat to democracy, but running and suppressing other candidates is a threat when you are behind in the polls, like he is.” Phillips also added, “He’s a good man and someone I respect. But this delusion that he can win is a threat to democracy.”[356]

Kennedy accused the Democratic Party of “fixing the process so it makes it almost impossible to have democracy function” and “disenfranchising the Democratic voters from having any choice in who becomes the Democratic nominee.”[357][358]

Kennedy's campaign manager, former Ohio Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich, accused the DNC of attempting a “hidden-ball trick” by not publicizing a public meeting of the Rules and Bylaws committee where resolutions dealing with ballot access and delegate selection rules for Georgia, Iowa, New Hampshire, and other states were expected to be presented. In a release, Kucinich said, “The DNC wants to carry on without public and media attention.”[359][360]

Williamson accused the Democratic National Committee of trying to “suppress” her candidacy in favor of incumbent President Joe Biden.[361]

Process following Biden's withdrawal

With Biden out, on July 21, Phillips proposed a straw poll of delegates ahead of the Democratic National Convention to determine the party's top four presidential contenders. Those four candidates would then take part in four town halls outlining their plans for the White House.[362] Then, after all those town halls, the delegates would vote to choose their candidate to determine the nominee.[363][301]

Following Biden's suspension of his campaign and subsequent endorsement of Kamala Harris on July 21, Williamson called for an open convention, arguing that the vice president should not be "anointed to the position of nominee."[364]

On July 23, Black Lives Matter released a statement opposing the party's decision to nominate Harris for president without her participating as a candidate in a primary election, describing the process as "anointing" Harris as the nominee without a public vote.[365][366][367] The organization argued that installing Harris as the Democratic nominee without a primary vote undermined democratic principles, stating that such a move "would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites."[368] BLM called on the Democratic National Committee to host a virtual primary to allow voter participation in the nomination process.[369]

Representative Nancy Pelosi told Semafor on September 18 that Harris earned her spot atop the Democratic presidential ticket because "We had an open primary, and she won it. Nobody else got in the race."[370][371] However in the aftermath of the presidential election, Pelosi blamed Harris's loss on Biden's late exit and the lack of an open Democratic primary.[372]

Notes

  1. 2,349 of 4,696 delegates needed to win any subsequent ballots at a contested convention lasting more than a single round of balloting. As of March 2025, the number of extra unpledged delegates (superdelegates), who after the first ballot at a contested convention participate in any subsequently needed nominating ballots (together with the 3,949 pledged delegates), is expected to be 747, but the exact number of superdelegates is still subject to change due to possible deaths, resignations, accessions, or elections as a pledged delegate.[1][self-published source?]
  2. Biden withdrew his campaign on July 21, 2024, after the primaries had concluded, and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris.
  3. Also includes:

  5. The calculation for percentage of votes excludes over/undervotes included by primary sources and accounts for write-ins included by the primary sources as well as additional write-in votes not included in their tracking, which have been reported by Edison Research in Massachusetts, Illinois, Washington, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and New Jersey.
  6. Although Biden and Palmer both earned three delegates from American Samoa, it is counted as a win for Palmer because he won the popular vote.
