17. Which Primary Are You Talking About?

Every state holds primaries. Most of them are done already. In Minnesota, we have one for our empty Senate seat next month. Or are you talking about President. There's no single primary for that office, either.

So, I'm confused over what you're discussing. You say "Primary," but there is no one "primary" election. Dozens of them, instead.
