Government

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the state's primary elections were postponed until July 11, 2020. By that time, incumbent President Donald Trump of the Republican Party and former Vice President Joe Biden of the Democratic Party had already clinched enough delegates to become the presumptive nominees of their respective parties.

Primary elections

The primary elections were originally scheduled for April 4, 2020. On March 13, they were moved to June 20 due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Then on April 14, they were further pushed back to July 11.[4]

Republican primary

Incumbent President Donald Trump was essentially uncontested in the Republican primary.[5] The state has 46 delegates to the 2020 Republican National Convention.[6]
