      People were certainly allowed to run against Biden, and more than one person did so. All the challengers failed.

          He was opposed by Dean Philips, Jason Palmer, and Marianne Williamson. They all dropped out.

              They weren’t on your ballot because they dropped out before your primary or they failed to meet ballot requirements.

                  You had a primary with no challengers.

                  Is this your first time voting? The same thing happens every election year in down ballot races. If you don’t like the candidate, you can always write-in vote.

                    You had a primary with no challengers.

                    I.e., not a primary at all.

                    Is this your first time voting? The same thing happens in down ballot races in every election.

                    This isn’t a downballot position, but even if it was, the lack of choice would still render the primary moot.

                    If you don’t like the candidate, you can always write-in vote.

                    I did.

                    “Uncommitted” was very popular in my state. I hope they win.
