The 2020 United States presidential election in Washington is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 2, 2020, as part of the 2020 United States elections in which all 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia will participate.[1] Washington voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Washington has 12 electoral votes in the Electoral College.[2]

Primary elections

The primaries for the major parties were on March 10, 2020.

Republican primary

Donald Trump, Bill Weld, Joe Walsh, and Rocky de la Fuente had declared their candidacy for the Republican Party, but only Trump met all of the state party’s criteria by the official deadline of January 21, 2020 for being included on the ballot.[3] Thus Trump essentially ran unopposed in the Republican primary, and thus he received all of Washington's 43 delegates to the 2020 Republican National Convention.[4]

Democratic primary

A number of Democratic Party candidates ran or expressed interest in running.[7][8][9] Additionally, Seattle-based billionaire Howard Schultz announced a potential bid as an independent in early 2019, but backed out in September of that year.[10] The party's candidates included on the ballot at the deadline were Michael Bennet, former Vice President Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Amy Klobuchar, Deval Patrick, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer, Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Yang.[3]
