It is up to the members of a political party to choose the candidate to represent their party in the general (presidential) election. The remaining candidates focus on a concentrated period of primaries and caucuses, which peaks with close to two dozen races on Super Tuesday but can continue through the Spring. The goal is to win enough delegates in each state to get their party’s nomination.
