| - The US Democratic Party Presidential Primaries, 2020 were a series of nominating events taking place between January 17 and May 27, 2020, and in the 51 US States, US territories, and Democrats Abroad, to select the 4,846 delegates who attended the Democratic National Convention in Columbus, Ohio and select the Presidential nominee to run against incumbent President Mike Pence. The Democratic National Convention will also approve the Vice Presidential Nominee and the party's platform. Elizabeth Warren's upset victory in Iowa questioned the quality of primary polling, as polls said that Jason Kander would win with a comfortable margin. Bob Iger, Lincoln Chaffee, and Terry McAuliffe dropped out of the race after performing poorly in Iowa. Elizabeth Warren won in New Hampshire, with John Bel Edwards getting second. Jason Kander finished in a depressing 4th place behind Martin O'Malley. This could be atribbuted to Elizabeth Warren asking him about his moderate voting record in the Senate, and his lack of championed laws. Julian Castro withdrew from the race after performing poorly, getting less than 500 votes in New Hampshire. Kander was expected to edge out Edwards in Nevada, but Edwards won Nevada by 102 votes out of over 11,000 cast, with Edwards getting 24 delegates and Kander getting 15. Elizabeth Warren got third place, earning 13 delegates, and Martin O'Malley got fourth, scoring 5. Nevada also gave Hillary Clinton her first delegate, putting her total at 1.
