2020 Democratic primary
V.P.H. 54%
Newt C. Land 46%
With few differences in their platform, the primary comes down to cultural differences, similar to the 2008 primary. Minnesota Senator Newt C. Land has a coalition of northern whites, particularly with well-educated and urban whites. Being the first major Asian presidential candidate, the Asian vote gives Land particularly strong performances in the Pacific states.
Governor V.P.H. of Kansas builds coalition of white Catholics, Blacks, and Hispanics, prevailing since these constituencies make up a majority of the party. Even as the more moderate candidate won, the party's left-wing continues to grow stronger with both candidates endorsing most of Bernie Sanders's platform.
