The 2024 Texas Democratic presidential primary took place on March 5, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election . 272 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated to presidential candidates.[ 1] The contest was held on Super Tuesday alongside primaries in 14 other states and territories .
Biden won the primary in a landslide, with opposition from smaller candidates. Frankie Lozada won Loving County , the only other county victory by a candidate over Biden alongside Dean Philips' victories in Oklahoma's Cimarron County and in Nebraska's Logan County . Biden's defeat in Loving County was attributed to its low population (having 64 citizens as of the 2020 census), which allowed its only voter to hand the county to a minor candidate named Frankie Lozada.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] In South Texas , a region with a heavily Hispanic population, Biden significantly underperformed his statewide total, a continuation of his troubles with this demographic from 2020.[ 5]
