List of United States Democratic Party presidential candidates
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list details the major Democratic Party candidates that have ran in presidential primaries and caucuses. The candidates included are those who were major contenders during the primaries and caucuses, had held significant elective office or received substantial media coverage, or received at least one delegate in the convention.
The Democratic Party has existed since the dissolution of the Democratic-Republican Party in the 1820s, and the Democrats have nominated a candidate for president in every presidential election since the party's first convention in 1832.
The list is divided into two sections, reflecting the increasing importance of primaries and caucuses following the changes stemming from the McGovern–Fraser Commission.
1832–1968
