Nothing. That isn't enough to win.
Under a proportional system, if a candidate wins at least 15 percent of the primary votes, they are usually allocated a proportional number of seats in the legislative body based on their share of the vote. This ensures that a diverse range of voices are represented in proportion to their level of support.
The candidate gets the number of delegates that matches the share of the votes.

Cross-filing is when a candidate runs in a primary election of his own party, as well as at least one other party. A candidate usually cross-files to reduce the competition in the general election.
The candidate must work on his or her own to raise at least $5,000 in contributions in at least twenty states.
If neither presidential candidate receives 270 electoral votes, the election is decided by the House of Representatives. Each state delegation gets one vote, and the candidate who receives a majority of state votes (at least 26 out of 50) becomes the president.
The presidential candidate who received the least votes in the South in the election of 1860 was John Bell.
In the United States, a presidential candidate must receive the support of at least one elector to be nominated. However, typically a candidate is nominated through a political party's primary process, where delegates representing the electors support the candidate. The formal nomination occurs at the party's national convention, where delegates, not electors, cast votes for their chosen candidate. Therefore, electors do not play a direct role in proposing or seconding a candidate outside of the electoral college context.

To be elected to Congress, a candidate must meet three primary stipulations: they must be at least 25 years old, have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and be a resident of the state they wish to represent. The third stipulation, therefore, is that the candidate must be a resident of the state they seek to represent. This ensures that elected officials have a connection to and understanding of the needs and interests of their constituents.
