Republican Primary
The main Republican primary race was between Kevin McCarthy and Tom Graves. In the end, McCarthy won the nomination mostly thanks to the influence he had over the party as the leader. He officially won the nomination on January 5th, 2024. He announced Donald Trump Jr. as his running mate in a rally in Oklahoma City on January 13, 2024. In the same rally McCarthy said "If I am not able to defeat the old aged pedophile we have in the office, you will never hear from me again."

Democrat Primary
The Democratic Party's primary race was easily won by the incumbent president Joe Biden. Many Democratic supporters wanted President Biden to give his position away to Kamala Harris as many deemed him "too old and fatigued to rule the nation". However, these calls were meaningless,as Biden was announced the candidate on December 28t 2023. Biden's biggest opponent on the primary race was David Cicilline, who was able to win 4 states in primary but ultimately ended up dropping out of the race on December 19, 2023.
