Primaries in the United States

Primaries are primary elections in the United States where voters choose presidential candidates from a particular party. Primaries are held in every U.S. state.

Primaries are usually held within a few months before the general election, which takes place in November. The results of the primaries determine who will represent a particular party in the main election.

If no candidate receives an absolute majority of votes, a second round of primaries is held. The two candidates who received the most votes in the first round advance to the second round.

The U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024. Two major U.S. political parties are taking part in them: Democratic and Republican.

By the way, the primaries have already been held in Iowa. Donald Trump won the internal party elections.

As a reminder, according to the results of the poll, Trump took the lead on the eve of the U.S. primaries.
