These candidates must win support of delegates for their party.
• DELEGATES—people who will SELECT THEIR PARTY’S CANDIDATES for President and Vice-President
• The number of delegates a state receives is based on the number of electoral votes and the state’s support of the party in the most recent elections
How do you “win” delegates? You do well in presidential primaries.
