Not at all. Democrats literally did not hold a primary in 2024 because the establishment would be crushed by non establishment candidates and they knew it.

    No, they didn't hold a primary because they had the incumbent advantage. You don't weaken your own incumbent candidate by running people against them in the primary. That's basic electoral politics.

    Same reason they didn't have a primary in 2012.
