How does a party nominate a presidential candidate?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The party caucus selects delegates for the party convention, where the nominee is then officially nominated by delegates' votes. The party leadership and members also have a role in the process, but it ultimately depends on the decision made by the delegates at the convention. Option A is unlikely as the party leadership typically plays a more indirect role in the nomination process. Option B is partially correct as the party convention selects the nominee, but the delegates are chosen by the caucus rather than the other way around. Option D is incorrect as party members do not directly vote for the nominee, but rather through the delegate system. Option E is also incorrect as delegates vote for the party's nominee, not for Electoral College members.
