The 2024 Florida Democratic presidential primary will take place on March 19, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 250 delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be allocated to presidential candidates, 26 of which will be unpledged delegates and the remainder of which will be pledged to a specific candidate.[1] The election is a closed primary, where only registered Democrats can vote.[2]
Candidates
Incumbent President Joe Biden announced on April 25, 2023, his bid for a second term.[3]
On November 30, 2023, Politico reported that the Florida Democratic Party had only submitted Biden's name to the Secretary of State, which would cancel the primary under Florida law. This cancellation was criticized by the Dean Phillips[4] and Marianne Williamson campaigns.[5] Williamson and fellow Democratic candidate Cenk Uygur held a press conference over Zoom on December 1 criticizing the move.[6]
