The 2024 Rhode Island Democratic presidential primary was held on April 2, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election, alongside three other contests on the day. 26 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated, with 9 additional unpledged delegates.
President Joe Biden won every county, but the campaign for uncommitted delegates, fueled by protest votes due to the Gaza war, came very close to 15% statewide and reached the threshold and 1 delegate in the 2nd congressional district. The Rhode Island chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America took a leading role in the Vote Uncommitted RI campaign, but the delegate spot was filled by a Jewish American anti-war activist.
Candidates The following candidates appeared on the ballot in Rhode Island: Joe Biden Dean Phillips (withdrawn) Turkish-born activist Cenk Uygur and another individual Michael Vandal filed but did not collect necessary signatures. The ballot also included the option for Uncommitted.
