Democratic primary

See also: Democratic presidential nomination, 2024
HIGHLIGHTS
  • Joe Biden (D) won the Alabama Democratic presidential primary on March 5, 2024.[3]
  • Alabama had an estimated 58 delegates comprised of 52 pledged delegates and six superdelegates. Delegate allocation was proportional.[4]
  • The Democratic primary was open, meaning any registered voters were able to vote in the election.[5]
  • The Democratic Party selected Vice President Kamala Harris (D) as its nominee during a virtual roll call vote on August 2, 2024, ahead of the in-person 2024 Democratic National Convention, which took place from August 19-22, 2024, in Chicago, Illinois.[6][7][8][9][10]

    Joe Biden (D) withdrew from the presidential race on July 21, 2024.[11] Biden crossed the majority delegate threshold necessary to win the Democratic nomination on March 12, 2024, which made him the presumptive Democratic nominee.

    Before the national convention, individual state caucuses and primaries were held to allocate convention delegates. To read more about the 2024 primary schedule click here. These delegates, along with superdelegates who come from the party leadership, voted at the virtual roll call to select the nominee.

    Republican primary

    See also: Republican presidential nomination, 2024
    HIGHLIGHTS
  • Donald Trump (R) won the Alabama Republican primary on March 5, 2024.[12]
  • Alabama had an estimated 50 delegates. Delegate allocation was a hybrid system.[13]
  • The Republican primary was open, meaning any registered voters were able to vote in the election.[14]
  • The Republican Party selected former President Donald Trump (R) as its 2024 presidential nominee at the 2024 Republican National Convention, which was held from July 15-18, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

    Before the convention, each state, Washington, D.C., and five U.S. territories held a primary, caucus, or convention to decide how to allocate delegates at the national convention. These nominating events began in January and ended in June. Trump crossed the delegate threshold necessary to win the nomination—1,215—on March 12, 2024.

    Republican presidential candidates participated in five primary debates, with the first being held held in August 2023 and the last in January 2024.[15] Trump did not participate in any of the debates.

    Trump is the sixth U.S. president to run for re-election to non-consecutive terms.[16] Grover Cleveland (D), the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, is the only president who has been elected to non-consecutive terms. Before Trump's 2024 campaign, the most recent former president to run for non-consecutive terms was Theodore Roosevelt (R), who sought re-election in 1912 as a Progressive Party candidate after leaving office in 1909.

    Presidential election competitiveness

    Race ratings

    The map below displays presidential race ratings in each state. These ratings are generated by averaging the ratings from The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

    • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
    • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
    • Lean and Tilt ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
    • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

    Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[17][18][19]

    Polling

    The section below displays national polling averages for the 2024 presidential election from RealClearPolitics.

    Prediction markets

    The section below displays national PredictIt share prices and RealClearPolitics prediction market averages for the 2024 presidential election.

    What is a prediction market?

    Prediction markets allow users to purchase shares relating to the outcome of events using real money. Each event, such as an election, has a number of contracts associated with it, each correlating to a different outcome. For instance, an election contested between four candidates would be represented by eight separate contracts, with each contract correlating to a particular candidate winning or losing the election.

    The share price in each individual forecast rises and falls based on market demand. Once the event's outcome is decided, holders of shares that correlate with the correct outcome receive a payout for each share they held.

    For example, a user buys 10 shares at 20 cents each in a presidential primary saying Candidate A will win. If Candidate A wins the election, the user earns $10. If the candidate loses, the user earns no money and loses his original $2 investment.

    Why do prediction markets matter?

    Prediction markets can be used to gain insight into the outcome of elections. Microsoft Research economist David Rothschild argued that they are better suited to the task than polls: "I can create a poll that can mimic everything about a prediction market...except markets have a way of incentivizing you to come back at 2 a.m. and update your answer."[20][21][22]

    Effect of the 2020 census on electoral votes

    Every ten years, the United States conducts the census, a complete count of the U.S. population. The data gleaned from the census process is used to determine several things, including legislative district lines, a state's number of U.S. House representatives, and the number of votes a state has in the Electoral College.

    The 2024 presidential election will be the first presidential election to take place using the electoral vote counts produced by the 2020 census. Six states gained votes in the Electoral College, while seven states lost votes. See the table below for exact figures.

    Electoral votes gained and lost after the 2020 census
    State Votes gained (new total) State Votes lost (new total)
    Texas +2 (40) California -1 (54)
    Colorado +1 (10) Illinois -1 (19)
    Florida +1 (30) Michigan -1 (15)
    Montana +1 (4) New York -1 (28)
    North Carolina +1 (16) Ohio -1 (17)
    Oregon +1 (8) Pennsylvania -1 (19)
    West Virginia -1 (4)

    Recent county-level results

    How a state's counties vote in a presidential election and the size of those counties can provide additional insights into election outcomes at other levels of government including statewide and congressional races.
