6. It always depends on the candidate and situation

Mar 2020

For instance, some candidates never gained traction and had to drop out before even one vote was cast.

On the other side, considering how a large majority of the supporters of the dropped out candidates flocked to Biden and that BS lost considerable support in comparison to 2016 which means that even many of his former supporters got fed up and tired of him, I'd say rejection from at least a part of the electorate is a fitting description.
The decision to support one candidate in a 1 on 1 race can be seen just as much as a rejection of what the other candidate brought to the table, especially if one those candidates is divisive and attacks the party he wants to be the leader of 24/7.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
