Primarias presidenciales del Partido Demócrata de 1976

Del 27 de enero al 8 de junio de 1976, los votantes del Partido Demócrata eligieron a su candidato a la presidencia en las elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos de 1976 . El ex gobernador de Georgia, Jimmy Carter, fue seleccionado como candidato a través de una serie de elecciones primarias y caucus que culminaron en la Convención Nacional Demócrata de 1976 celebrada del 12 al 15 de julio de 1976 en la ciudad de Nueva York .

Las primarias tuvieron lugar después del escándalo Watergate y la posterior aplastante victoria demócrata en las elecciones intermedias de 1974 . De cara a las elecciones presidenciales, el Partido Demócrata tenía grandes posibilidades de recuperar el control de la Casa Blanca . Con la esperanza de evitar que se repitiera lo de 1972 , los demócratas nominaron al gobernador centrista de Georgia, Jimmy Carter, para recuperar el Sur Sólido y recuperar a los votantes de la clase trabajadora del norte. Finalmente derrotó al presidente Gerald Ford por un estrecho margen, haciendo de estas primarias la única vez entre 1968 y 1992 en la que un candidato demócrata ganó una elección general presidencial.

Fondo

elecciones de 1972

En 1972, el senador George McGovern consiguió la nominación demócrata mediante una campaña temprana y una organización superior, ayudado por su conocimiento interno de las reformas bajo una comisión que presidía. McGovern, ampliamente visto como un candidato extremadamente liberal, perdió las elecciones generales de manera aplastante ante el actual presidente Richard Nixon , ganando sólo el estado de Massachusetts .

el escándalo de Watergate

Durante la campaña de 1972, varios hombres fueron arrestados por un allanamiento en el complejo Watergate , sede de la sede del Comité Nacional Demócrata . A medida que avanzaba la investigación, quedó claro que el allanamiento fue una de varias tácticas utilizadas por la campaña de Nixon contra sus oponentes políticos. El escándalo y el posterior intento de encubrirlo finalmente obligaron al presidente Nixon a dimitir de su cargo bajo presión política y la amenaza de un juicio político . Nixon fue sucedido por Gerald Ford , a quien había designado para la vicepresidencia después de que el propio Spiro Agnew dimitiera bajo investigación por soborno.

Como resultado del escándalo Watergate y otros escándalos, la retirada estadounidense de Vietnam y una recesión económica en curso , el Partido Demócrata ganó de manera aplastante en las elecciones de mitad de período de 1974 . El entorno político posterior a Watergate también condujo a un endurecimiento de las regulaciones de financiación de campañas, a la creación del Comité Church para investigar abusos cometidos por agencias federales de inteligencia y a una oposición general a Washington y a los políticos del establishment.

Maniobras de precampaña

Gran parte de las especulaciones sobre la nominación de 1976 rodearon al senador Hubert Humphrey de Minnesota, ex vicepresidente de los Estados Unidos y candidato del partido en 1968. Humphrey había obtenido el mayor número de votos en las primarias de 1972, pero perdió en una amarga pelea con McGovern. Aunque Humphrey finalmente se negó a buscar la nominación nuevamente, muchos votos anticipados fueron para delegados no comprometidos que sus partidarios esperaban que se comprometiesen con Humphrey para el momento de la convención.

El senador Scoop Jackson elevó su perfil nacional al hablar regularmente sobre las relaciones entre la Unión Soviética y los Estados Unidos y la política en Oriente Medio , y fue considerado uno de los favoritos para la nominación cuando anunció el inicio de su campaña en febrero de 1975. Jackson recibió un apoyo financiero sustancial. de los judíos estadounidenses que admiraban sus puntos de vista pro- Israel , pero el apoyo de Jackson a la guerra de Vietnam resultó en hostilidad por parte del ala izquierda del Partido Demócrata.

Jackson eligió postularse por temas sociales, enfatizando la ley y el orden y su oposición al transporte en autobús . Jackson también esperaba el apoyo de los sindicatos , pero la posibilidad de que Hubert Humphrey entrara en la carrera hizo que los sindicatos ofrecieran sólo un apoyo tibio. [1] [2] [3] [4]

La campaña de 1976 fue la primera campaña presidencial en la que predominó el sistema primario. [ cita necesaria ] Sin embargo, la mayoría de los candidatos demócratas no se dieron cuenta de la importancia del mayor número de primarias, o de la importancia de crear impulso ganando las primeras contiendas. Jimmy Carter, que era prácticamente desconocido a nivel nacional, aprovechó su oscuridad para postularse como un "forastero" en Washington. El plan de Carter era presentarse a todas las primarias y caucus, comenzando con los caucus de Iowa , y ganar impulso ganando "en algún lugar" cada vez que se celebraran elecciones primarias.

Calendario y resultados

Nota del tablemaker: [a]

  1. ^ This should not be taken as a finalized list of results. While a significant amount of research was done, there were a number of Delegates who were not bound by the instruction, or "Pledged" to a candidate, and to simplify the data these delegates were considered "Uncommitted". Many states also held primaries for the delegate positions, and these on occasion were where slates or candidates pledge to a certain candidate might be elected; however, as these elections allowed for a single person to vote for multiple candidates, as many as the number of positions being filled, it is difficult to determine how many people actually voted in these primaries. For this reason, while the results of some are in the table, they are not included in the popular vote summaries at the bottom of the table.
  2. ^ Includes 14,508 votes for Unpledged slate of Delegates at (37.16%).

The largest with 85 delegates was controlled Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, who had used Senator Adlai Stevenson III as a stand-in. 18 truly uncommitted delegates were divided into two camps, one led by congressman Paul Simon and the other by state treasurer Alan Dixon, both inclined to supporting Hubert Humphrey's potential entrance into the race. The final 4 were pledged to Governor Daniel Walker, who had been engaged in a number of power struggles with Richard Daley..

However, supporters of Carter opted to not participate in the second round, initially allowing Jackson supporters to win the remainder of the delegates. To head off a dispute before the Convention, a compromise was reached in which the delegation would be divided as shown below.
  31. ^ The situation in New York is complicated in that the rather than voting for the candidates themselves, voters were instead voting for the individual delegates; it wasn't uncommon for the allegiance of some of these delegates to be ill-defined.

Declined to run

At multiple times during the primaries, Humphrey hinted at a campaign for the nomination and expressed his willingness to be drafted, but ultimately declined to actively seek the nomination on April 29, after Carter's victory in Pennsylvania. Several unsuccessful draft movements were formed and many uncommitted delegates expressed their preference for Humphrey.[citation needed]

Timeline

January 19: Iowa caucuses

With no clear front-runner for the nomination and a political climate that seemed tilted heavily in their party's favor, a record number of Democrats competed for their party's presidential nomination.

Jimmy Carter startled many political experts by finishing second in the Iowa caucuses, behind only "uncommitted" delegates largely elected on the backs of minor candidates and Humphrey supporters. Arizona Congressman Morris Udall, who had been leading in the polls at one point, came in fifth behind former Oklahoma Senator Fred R. Harris, leading Harris to coin the term "winnowed in", referring to his surprisingly strong showing.[85][86][87][88]

February 24: New Hampshire primary

The New Hampshire primary was another victory for Carter, albeit one in which he was the lone moderate or conservative candidate in the field, both Jackson and Wallace choosing to bypass New Hampshire in favor of neighboring Massachusetts. Thus, with the liberal vote split, Carter won. The New Hampshire primary nevertheless had symbolic value for the Carter campaign, showing that a Southerner could appeal in New England in advance of the Massachusetts primary. Among the liberal candidates in New Hampshire, Udall emerged as the leader.

March 2: Massachusetts primary

One week after the New Hampshire primary, Carter's campaign was dealt a serious blow in Massachusetts. With Jackson and Wallace joining the field to split moderate and conservative voters, Carter finished fourth, behind Jackson, Wallace, and Udall. None of the candidates campaigned heavily in the state, preferring to advertise on television. Jackson won the race by relying on experienced political activists, especially in Boston, and support from organized labor.

March 9: Florida primary

The week after Massachusetts, Carter righted the ship by defeating Wallace and Jackson in Florida. The liberal candidates, with the exception of Milton Shapp, were not on the ballot and largely stayed out of the state; Jackson finished third. Jackson sought to capitalize on momentum from his victory in Massachusetts, but set expectations low given his poor polling in the state. The campaign was acrimonious; Carter sought to maintain his status as the frontrunner by accusing Washington insiders of coordinating against him and accused Jackson of exploiting desegregation busing as an issue. Jackson countered with attacks on Carter's civil rights record as Governor. Wallace, who had won Florida in 1972, staked his campaign on the state. Carter ultimately defeated Wallace narrowly with around a third of the vote; in his victory speech, Carter declared that the result represented "not only a New South, but a new America."

March 16: Illinois primary

Carter then proceeded to slowly but steadily accumulate delegates in primaries around the nation. In Illinois, the Democratic presidential candidates were overshadowed by a power struggle between Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley and Governor Dan Walker. Daley won control of the delegation through a slate of delegates pledged to Senator Adlai Stevenson III, but among the declared candidates for the presidency, Carter won a convincing victory over Wallace in both the presidential preference primary and the separate delegate selection races.

April: New York, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania

He also knocked his key rivals out of the race one by one. He won a more dominant victory over Wallace in the North Carolina primary on March 23, winning his first majority in any state and thus neutralizing his main rival in the South. On April 6, Carter won a narrow come-from-behind victory in Wisconsin over Mo Udall, although Udall won the most delegates. Jackson won a convincing victory over Udall in the New York primaries, but when Carter defeated Jackson in Pennsylvania on April 27, Jackson quit the race, citing a lack of funds.[1][2][3][4]

As Carter continued to gain momentum, a "Stop Carter" movement behind the late-starting campaigns of California Governor Jerry Brown and Senator Frank Church of Idaho. Though neither candidate could secure the nomination themselves, they stood in the hopes of deadlocking the convention and denying Carter the nomination. Now facing an organized opposition, Carter dropped several key Western primaries in May and June.

Total popular vote in primaries[89]

Democratic National Convention

The 1976 Democratic National Convention was held in New York City. By the time the convention opened Carter already had more than enough delegates to win the nomination, and so the major emphasis at the convention was to create an appearance of party unity, which had been lacking in the 1968 and 1972 Democratic Conventions. Carter easily won the nomination on the first ballot; he then chose Senator Walter Mondale of Minnesota, a liberal and a protege of Hubert Humphrey, as his running mate.

The tally at the convention was:[91]

Vice presidential nomination

By June, Carter had the nomination sufficiently locked up and could take time to interview potential vice-presidential candidates.

The pundits predicted that Frank Church would be tapped to provide balance as an experienced senator with strong liberal credentials. Church promoted himself, persuading friends to intervene with Carter in his behalf. If a quick choice had been required as in past conventions, Carter later recalled, he would probably have chosen Church. But the longer period for deliberation gave Carter time to worry about his compatibility with the publicity-seeking Church, who had a tendency to be long-winded. Instead, Carter invited Senators Edmund Muskie, John Glenn and Walter Mondale, and Congressman Peter W. Rodino to visit his home in Plains, Georgia, for personal interviews, while Church, Henry M. Jackson, and Adlai Stevenson III would be interviewed at the convention in New York. Rodino revealed he had no interest in the position, and of all the other potential candidates, Carter found Mondale the most compatible. As a result, Carter selected Mondale as his running mate.

African American leadership within the Democratic Party had sought to potentially place Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, Congressman Ron Dellums, or Congresswoman Barbara Jordan on the ticket with Carter. However, Jordan took herself out of consideration, and Carter did not have any interest in the other candidates put forward.

The vice presidential tally, in part, was:
