The 2024 Virginia Democratic presidential primary took place on March 5, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 99 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated to presidential candidates, with 20 additional unpledged delegates.[1] The open primary was held on Super Tuesday alongside primaries in 14 other states and territories.
Joe Biden won the primary and all delegates with some opposition from Marianne Williamson.[2] Because there was no option for uncommitted delegates in the primary, Gaza 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.
