YES
More than 14 million people voted for President Joe Biden in the 2024 Democratic primaries, months before he dropped his re-election bid.
Biden won all of the Democratic presidential primaries except for the 91-vote contest in American Samoa, securing nearly all of the country’s Democratic delegates.
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), the Republican nominee for vice president, said at a Tuesday rally in Reno that Democrats’ campaign to convince Biden to leave the ticket constituted a “coup.”
Biden’s departure from the race last month did not violate party rules because he had not been officially nominated by party delegates at the Democratic National Convention.
