These party provides abundant support to the presidential, including funding, or opportunities to easily send messages and ideas to many people, and access to research and workers.

Before a candidate can run for president, he or she must be chosen by a political party. Each state holds a primary or a caucus for this purpose during an election year, which occurs every four years. Most states hold primaries. In a caucus, party members have meetings and give speeches to support specific candidates; then they vote to select a candidate. In a primary, voters come to the polls to vote for a specific candidate.
