A "Democratic Nominee" refers to a candidate selected by the Democratic Party to run for a specific political office, such as the presidency or a congressional seat. This selection typically occurs through a series of primary elections and caucuses, where party members vote for their preferred candidate. The nominee represents the party's values and policies in the general election. Once chosen, the Democratic nominee campaigns to gain support from voters, aiming to win the election against candidates from other parties, such as the Republican Party. The nominee's platform often includes key issues like healthcare, education, and social justice, reflecting the party's priorities.
