    Are you talking about 2024? Because no there wasn’t. No party in the US holds more than a pro forma vote for presidential nominee if they have an incumbent running. Primaries in such years are specifically for lower offices. A President hasn’t been primaried in the US since Johnson declined to run again after getting beat horribly in polling and the New Hampshire primary.

      Oh, got em on the technicality!

      The OP you’re replying to was clearly highlighting that Warren isn’t a candidate for President, but because you caught that it was a lack of nomination rather than a lack of primary campaign that totally invalidates their point!
