Hard-fought presidential primaries are common in the party out of power because multiple candidates vie to present themselves as the best alternative to the incumbent party, often reflecting diverse factions within the party. In contrast, the president's party typically rallies around the sitting president, leading to fewer challengers and a more unified front to maintain power. Additionally, incumbents have established resources and support networks that discourage serious primary competition. This dynamic creates a stark contrast in the nature of primaries between the two parties.

Candidates usually have more agreeable target voters in primaries. In these elections, they are only dealing with voters of one party.
A primary election (nominating primary) is an election in which voters in a jurisdiction select candidates for a subsequent election. In other words, primary elections are one means by which a political party nominates candidates for the following general election. "Primaries" are common in the United States, where their origins are traced to the progressive movement. There, primary elections are conducted by government on behalf of the parties. Elsewhere in the world, the nomination of candidates is usually the responsibility of the political party organizations themselves and does not involve the general public. Besides primaries, other ways that parties may select candidates include caucuses, conventions, and nomination meetings. Historically, Canadian political parties chose their candidates in party meetings in each constituency. Canadian party leaders are elected at leadership conventions, although some parties have abandoned this practice in favour of one member, one vote systems.
Sometimes, primaries are held in which those wishing to run for office are not listed by party. In fact, party names do not appear on the ballot at all. THis is known as a nonpartisan primary. Nonpartisan primaries are most popular on the local level. They are used, for example, to choose candidates for school board, city council, or other local offices. In some states, they also are a common means of choosing candidates to run for judge.

This allows them to have a significant impact on the selection of the party's nominee while avoiding conflicts with major holidays and events.
