2020 Democrat Presidential Primaries

As the incumbent president, Barack Obama was not allowed to run for a third term. Hillary Clinton was considered the front runner by many but had challenges from people on the left and the right of the party, such as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. While he won a few contests, Hillary Clinton dominated the primary and won with almost 40% of the vote. At the DNC on August 11, 2016, she and Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold were nominated as the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates.
