Presidential Primary
Democratic primary
Шаблон:Main As the incumbent president, Barack Obama faced token opposition in the primary election. President Obama cemented his status as the Democratic presumptive nominee on April 3, 2012 by securing the minimum number of pledged delegates needed to clinch the nomination,[1][2] thus making the Pennsylvania Democratic presidential primaries a non-factor in the nomination.
Republican primary
Шаблон:Main Although Texas Congressman Ron Paul, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney all appeared on the ballot, Romney had all but secured the Republican nomination by the time of the Pennsylvania primaries.[3] Though Romney had not yet clinched the minimum number of delegates needed to secure the nomination, Gingrich, Santorum, and Paul were too far behind in the delegates count to mount a serious comeback, and had subsequently stopped actively campaigning.[4]
