The Democrats did hold a presidential primary, but all the (major) candidates (Newsom clearly the favorite) agreed to step aside and not campaign this time, partly because their party already has the Executive branch, and partly as a strategy to keep Biden from looking weak debating candidates from his own party. How do you think that strategy is working out?
As for the Republicans, DeSantis, Haley, Ramaswamy, Christie, etc. campaigned, but Trump was just way too popular and dominated the primaries.
Here's what to watch for coming up:
July 15-18 Republican National Convention:
Trump will officially be named their candidate for Prez.
August 19-22 Democratic National Convention:
The one to watch! If they're going to replace Biden, this is when it's most likely to happen. It won't be boring.
