    Didn’t they do primaries this time around? Didn’t anyone show up to contest him?

      The primaries are more of a formality when there’s an incumbent. Nobody bothers to run against the incumbent because they have such a huge advantage.

      Dean Phillips is the most known candidate to have run against him. Everyone else stepped aside to the the incumbent run, either because he was the incumbent, or they didn’t want the political backlash of running against the incumbent.
