As usual, we expect the primaries to end on DU when they end in the real world. That means when there is either only one candidate left standing, or when there are no more contests remaining and the delegate math indicates the presumptive nominee. If our opinion on that changes, we'll let you all know.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
