    No, there wasn’t. A primary in 50 states takes roughly 6 months to run. They had ONE.

    Biden bowed out July 21st.

    The convention was scheduled to start August 19th.

    30 days. You can’t run a 50 state primary in 30 days. 1.66 primaries per day.

    Moving the convention wasn’t an option due to state deadlines for candidates.
