Even if the result is a fait accompli, New York's presidential primary for the 2024 election cycle ends on Tuesday.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump had long ago won enough delegates to win their respective parties' presidential nominations in a rematch of elections to be decided this November. As Democrats head to the polls to select delegates to this summer's Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, Republicans have no choice but to vote for Trump or one of the candidates who previously withdrew from the ballot. The only option is to do so.
New York state has closed its primaries, meaning only registered Democrats or Republicans can vote in their party's elections. Independent or independent voters will have to wait until November to make their voices heard.
of The early voting period for the presidential primary election was held from March 23rd to March 30th. And as expected, there were very few participants. The city's Board of Elections reported that 55,879 voters checked in during the early voting period. Manhattan had the highest number of people at 17,312.
Incumbent President Joe Biden, who defeated President Trump in the 2020 general election, leads the Democratic Party in terms of votes. Although Biden secured his party's renomination earlier this month, two former challengers remain in the New York primary: Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson.
New York Republicans don't have much of a choice on the ballot, but it will be interesting to see if New York votes come back. In most Republican primaries across the country this year, about 20% of voters chose a candidate other than Trump.
Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is also on the ballot with Trump in New York. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. and Vivek Ramaswamy.
After choosing one of the three candidates, Democrats will select delegates for each congressional district. Again, each slate contains a number of candidates equal to the maximum number of delegates voters are asked to elect, so there are few choices.
The delegate candidates include some well-known city and state elected officials, such as City Council President Adrian Adams, who is running for Queen's 5th Ward, so there are some familiar faces. There is.
