The elections took place in all U.S. states except Florida and Delaware, in the District of Columbia, in five U.S. territories, and as organized by Democrats Abroad.{{cite web |author1=Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee |title=Resolution on the Principles and Framework of a Transparent and Fair Review of the Presidential Nominating Calendar|url=https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Resolution-on-the-Principles-and-Framework-of-a-Transparent-and-Fair-Review-of-the-Presidential-Nominating-Calendar.pdf |website=democrats.org |access-date=November 18, 2022 |page=4 |date=April 13, 2022 |archive-date=May 18, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220518235459/https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Resolution-on-the-Principles-and-Framework-of-a-Transparent-and-Fair-Review-of-the-Presidential-Nominating-Calendar.pdf |url-status=live}}

Vice-presidential candidate selection

{{main|2024 Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection}}

On January 19, 2022, President Biden confirmed that Vice President Kamala Harris would again be his running mate in his 2024 re-election campaign.{{Cite web|last=Rafford|first=Claire|title=Biden commits to Harris as his running mate for 2024|url=https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/19/biden-commits-to-harris-as-his-running-mate-2024-527418|date=January 19, 2022|access-date=August 20, 2022|website=Politico|archive-date=January 27, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220127211518/https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/19/biden-commits-to-harris-as-his-running-mate-2024-527418|url-status=live}} Some Democrats expressed skepticism about Biden choosing Harris again as his running mate, as she had also seen similar low approval ratings to Biden. In January 2023, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren said in a radio interview that she supported Biden's reelection bid, but stopped short of supporting Harris.{{Cite web|last=Lannan|first=Katie|title=Warren stops short of backing Harris for VP in 2024|url=https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/2023/01/27/warren-stops-short-of-backing-harris-for-vp-in-2024|date=January 27, 2023|access-date=February 25, 2023|publisher=WGBH Boston|archive-date=February 25, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230225154659/https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/2023/01/27/warren-stops-short-of-backing-harris-for-vp-in-2024|url-status=live}} She later clarified her position, saying she supported the Biden–Harris ticket.{{Cite web|last=Lannan|first=Katie|title=Warren clarifies she's all in with Biden-Harris ticket for 2024|url=https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/warren-clarifies-shes-all-in-with-biden-harris-ticket-for-2024|date=January 29, 2023|access-date=February 25, 2023|publisher=WGBH Boston|archive-date=February 25, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230225154657/https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/warren-clarifies-shes-all-in-with-biden-harris-ticket-for-2024|url-status=live}}

Following Biden's withdrawal from the race in late July, it was reported that the Harris campaign was vetting nearly a dozen candidates to be her running mate. Several governors, including J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, were considered top contenders. Also under consideration were U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg of Indiana, and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island.{{Cite news |last=Dorn |first=Sara |date=July 21, 2024 |title=Kamala Harris' Running Mate: Here's Who Could Be Her VP After Biden Drops Out And Endorses Her |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/07/21/kamala-harris-running-mate-heres-who-could-be-her-vp-after-biden-drops-out-and-endorses-her/ |access-date=July 21, 2024 |work=Forbes}}{{Cite web |date=2024-08-04 |title=Top vice-presidential contenders interviewed by Kamala Harris |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyx559kvvnyo |access-date=2025-06-24 |website=www.bbc.com |language=en-GB}} According to Mark Cuban, the Harris campaign reached out to him to express interest in vetting him for the position, but he declined.{{Cite web |date=2025-06-21 |title=Mark Cuban says Harris team approached him about VP vetting {{!}} Fox News Video |url=https://www.foxnews.com/video/6374666234112 |access-date=2025-06-24 |website=Fox News |language=en-US}}

On February 4, the Democratic National Committee approves a new primary calendar, moving South Carolina to February 3, followed by Nevada and New Hampshire on February 6, Georgia on February 13, and Michigan on February 27. Iowa, which traditionally goes first, would then be held later in the primary season.{{Cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/democrats-approve-new-primary-calendar-2024/story?id=96894345|title=Democrats approve new primary calendar for 2024|date=February 4, 2023|work=ABC News}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/02/04/democrats-2024-presidential-primary-calendar/11180347002/|title=Democrats approve 2024 primary calendar that demotes Iowa, boosts South Carolina|date=February 4, 2023|work=USA Today}} The DNC gives Georgia and New Hampshire an extended deadline of June to modify their state laws so they can comply with the new dates (New Hampshire state law mandates them to hold the first primary in the country, while Georgia state law requires them to hold both the Democratic and Republican primaries on the same day), but this remains unlikely to happen since both states have Republican-controlled state legislatures.{{Cite web|url=https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3843311-dnc-approves-adjusted-early-presidential-primary-schedule/|title=DNC approves adjusted early presidential primary schedule |date=February 4, 2023|work=The Hill}}

Throughout 2022, several prominent Democrats publicly urged Biden not to run for a second term. On June 23, shortly after winning the Democratic nomination in the South Carolina gubernatorial race, former U.S. Representative Joe Cunningham told CNN that he believed Biden would be too old by the end of his second term and should not run in 2024. CNN pointed out that Biden had endorsed Cunningham in his 2018 and 2020 campaigns. In July, U.S. Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota said he believed that Democrats should nominate someone from a younger generation in 2024, and fellow Minnesota Representative Angie Craig agreed with him the following week. On August 1, then-U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney told The New York Times that she thought Biden should not run in 2024 and that she believed he would not run. She later apologized and said that he should run again, though she reiterated her belief that he would not. In September, U.S. Representative and Ohio U.S. Senate nominee Tim Ryan similarly called for a "generational move" away from Biden during an interview with a local TV station; Forbes Magazine noted that Biden, who had endorsed Ryan, headlined a rally with him just hours after the interview aired.

In April 2023, Christale Spain became the first black woman to be the Chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party; with the responsibility of organizing the party's first-in-the-nation primary.{{Cite web |last=Shapero |first=Julia |date=April 29, 2023 |title=South Carolina Democrats elect first Black woman to head state party |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3979851-south-carolina-democrats-elect-first-black-woman-to-head-state-party/ |access-date=May 4, 2023 |website=The Hill}}

Democrats in Idaho, who held caucuses in 2012 and 2016 but switched to a firehouse primary by mail for the 2020 election, switched back to in-person caucuses due to the abolition of the presidential primary by the Idaho Legislature in 2023.{{Cite web |last=Corbin |first=Clark |date=October 16, 2023 |title=Idaho will have a presidential caucus in 2024 — not a primary.

President Biden sent a letter on December 1, 2022, to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), requesting that diversity should be emphasized in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries. On February 4, 2023, the DNC formally approved the new 2024 primary calendar, moving South Carolina to hold its race first on February 3, followed by Nevada and New Hampshire on February 6. One member of the Rules and Bylaws Committee who supported this new plan, Lee Saunders, further said it will give a better representation of the composition of the country.{{Cite web |author=Chambers, Francesca |date=February 4, 2023 |title=Democrats approve 2024 primary calendar that demotes Iowa, boosts South Carolina |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/02/04/democrats-2024-presidential-primary-calendar/11180347002/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230205010720/https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/02/04/democrats-2024-presidential-primary-calendar/11180347002/ |archive-date=February 5, 2023 |access-date=October 30, 2023 |work=USA Today}} Members of the Iowa Democratic Party and the New Hampshire Democratic Party opposed the move, since they would no longer be the first two states to hold their races.{{Cite web |author=Shepherd, Brittany |date=February 4, 2023 |title=Democrats approve new primary calendar for 2024 |url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/democrats-approve-new-primary-calendar-2024/story?id=96894345 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230205004938/https://abcnews.go.com/US/democrats-approve-new-primary-calendar-2024/story?id=96894345 |archive-date=February 5, 2023 |access-date=October 30, 2023 |work=ABC News}} The move was also criticized by some progressives, who argued that the move was intended to benefit more moderate candidates.{{Cite web |last1=Knotts |first1=Gibbs |last2=Ragusa |first2=Jordan |date=February 7, 2023|title=Why the Democrats moved South Carolina to the front of the 2024 primary calendar | Analysis |url=https://www.penncapital-star.com/commentary/why-the-democrats-moved-south-carolina-to-the-front-of-the-2024-primary-calendar-analysis/ |access-date=December 12, 2023 |work=Pennsylvania Capital-Star |archive-date=December 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231212234801/https://www.penncapital-star.com/commentary/why-the-democrats-moved-south-carolina-to-the-front-of-the-2024-primary-calendar-analysis/ |url-status=live}}{{Cite web |last1=Prokop |first1=Andrew |date=December 2, 2022 |title=Joe Biden just threw the 2024 primary calendar into chaos |url=https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/12/2/23488627/democrats-primary-iowa-michigan-joe-biden |access-date=December 12, 2023 |work=Vox |archive-date=December 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231212234801/https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/12/2/23488627/democrats-primary-iowa-michigan-joe-biden |url-status=live}} On October 6, the DNC and the Iowa Democratic Party reached a compromise in which the in-person caucuses could still be held in January, but delegate-determining mail-in voting would be held through Super Tuesday, March 5.

The DNC and the New Hampshire Democratic Party did not reach a compromise. In October 2023, the manager for the Biden campaign, Julie Chávez Rodriguez, confirmed in a letter to the chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party Raymond Buckley that Biden would not appear on the primary ballot in order to comply with the DNC's calendar.{{cite news |author=Schneider, Elena |date=October 24, 2023 |title=Biden won't appear on New Hampshire primary ballot|url=https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/24/biden-wont-appear-new-hampshire-primary-ballot-00123342 |access-date=October 24, 2023 |work=Politico |archive-date=October 24, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231024221853/https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/24/biden-wont-appear-new-hampshire-primary-ballot-00123342 |url-status=live}} Pro-Biden New Hampshire Democrats, including Kathy Sullivan (the former chairwoman of the state Democratic party) and former Representatives Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter, launched a formal write-in campaign on October 30.{{cite news|author1=Kashinsky, Lisa|date=October 30, 2023 |title=Democrats launch write-in campaign for Biden in N.H. |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/30/biden-new-hampshire-democrats-write-in-campaign-00124217 |access-date=October 30, 2023 |work=Politico|archive-date=October 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231030151517/https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/30/biden-new-hampshire-democrats-write-in-campaign-00124217 |url-status=live}} There were no delegates at stake in the New Hampshire primary because the Democratic National Committee said state party officials violated national party rules by scheduling its contest earlier than allowed.{{cite web |last1=Yoon |first1=Robert |title=This is why zero delegates are at stake when Democrats vote in New Hampshire |url=https://apnews.com/article/new-hampshire-democratic-primary-explained-1935530652e371fa3bffdad209ebea82 |publisher=The Associated Press |access-date=11 February 2025 |date=17 January 2024}} On January 8, 2024, after the Democratic national party dismissed the state of New Hampshire's upcoming primary as "meaningless" the New Hampshire Assistant Attorney General Brendan O’Donnell fired off a cease-and-desist order to the DNC, saying that instructing state Democrats to "educate the public" that the primary is "meaningless" violates the state's voter suppression laws.{{cite web |last1=Kashinsky |first1=Lisa |title=New Hampshire attorney general's office warns DNC over 'voter suppression' after party lambasted primary |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/08/new-hampshire-attorney-general-dnc-voter-suppression-primary-00134378 |publisher=Politico |access-date=11 February 2025 |date=8 January 2024}}

Campaign finance

{{main|Fundraising in the 2024 United States presidential election}}

This is an overview of the money used by each campaign as it is reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Totals raised include individual contributions, loans from the candidate, and transfers from other campaign committees. Individual contributions are itemized (catalogued) by the FEC when the total value of contributions by an individual comes to more than $200. The last column, Cash On Hand, shows the remaining cash each campaign had available for its future spending as of December 31, 2023. Campaign finance reports for the first quarter of 2024 will become available on April 15, 2024.{{cite web |title=2023 Quarterly reports |url=https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/dates-and-deadlines/2023-reporting-dates/2023-quarterly-filers/ |access-date=July 7, 2023 |website=FEC |archive-date=July 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230707162955/https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/dates-and-deadlines/2023-reporting-dates/2023-quarterly-filers/ |url-status=live}}
