The 2020 Louisiana Democratic presidential primary took place on July 11, 2020, a Saturday, in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election. It was originally planned for April 4 together with three other primaries, but was moved twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Louisiana primary was a closed primary, with the state awarding 60 delegates, of which 54 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
Presumptive nominee and vice president Joe Biden won nearly 80% of the vote and all delegates, while senator Bernie Sanders only took little more than 7% and 12 other mainly withdrawn candidates that had formally remained on the ballot made up the rest.
