The 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and caucuses were a series of electoral contests organized by the Democratic Party to select the 3,979 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention held on August 17–20 to determine the party's nominee for president of the United States in the 59th U.S. presidential election. The elections took place in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories, and Democrats Abroad, and occurred between February 3 and August 11.
There were 29 major Democratic presidential candidates in the election.This was the largest field of presidential candidates for any American political party since 1972, exceeding the field of 17 major candidates during the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries.Seven candidates received pledged delegates: former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren, former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Senator Amy Klobuchar, and U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard.
On April 8, Biden became the presumptive nominee after Sanders, the only other candidate remaining, suspended his campaign. In early June, Biden passed the threshold of 1,991 delegates to win the nomination. On August 11, Biden announced that Senator Kamala Harris would be his running mate. On August 18 and 19, delegates at the Democratic National Convention officially nominated Biden for president and Harris for vice president.
