2024 Presidential Primary Has Some Surprises

Democratic Primary Winner Announced

Michigans presidential primary is earlier than usual this year, and there are some new names on the ballot. The primary will be held on February 27, which has been the day of Michigans presidential primary in recent years. However, the primary is typically held in March or April.

The move to an earlier primary was made by the Michigan Democratic Party. The party voted to move the primary up in order to give Michigan more influence in the nominating process. Michigan is one of the largest states in the country, and it has a large number of delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

There are several candidates running in the Democratic primary, including former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Senator Elizabeth Warren. Biden won the primary on February 27, 2024. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will be overseeing the election.

The Republican primary will also be held on February 27, 2024.

Voters can find a sample ballot for their precinct on the Michigan Secretary of State's website.

By moving the presidential primary earlier, Michigan has more influence in the nominating process. The state's large number of delegates to the Democratic National Convention will give it a greater say in who the Democratic nominee will be.
