Description | It’s the day Pennsylvania renews its quadrennial quest for national political irrelevancy–better known as the 2020 Pennsylvania presidential primary- an election scheduled to be held promptly after some 37 other states and territories have already selected the presidential nominees in both major parties.
One of the battleground states in recent decades that decides the fall election in the Electoral College, Pennsylvania almost never has a meaningful spring presidential primary. It helps decide who wins the presidency, but not who gets nominated for the presidency: bizarrely a state pivotal to the general election outcome is inconsequential in the nomination process. |
