The 2024 Virginia Democratic presidential primary took place on March 5, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 118 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated to presidential candidates.[1] The contest was held on Super Tuesday alongside primaries in 14 other states and territories.
Biden won the primary with some opposition from Williamson.[2] Because uncommitted was not an option in the primary, Israel–Hamas war protest vote organizers rallied around Williamson.[3] [4]
Incumbent President Joe Biden announced on April 25, 2023, his bid for a second term. He faced a primary challenge from 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson[5] [6] and U.S. Representative Dean Phillips.
