Next month, the first state races will be held in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina to determine the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.

Recently, the crowded Democratic field has had a couple of candidates drop out. This includes Sen. Kamala Harris of California who suspended her campaign in December and former Obama administration official Julian Castro who dropped out of the race on Thursday morning.
