The Democratic Party typically chooses its presidential nominee during the Democratic National Convention, which occurs in the summer before the general election. Prior to the convention, candidates compete in a series of state primaries and caucuses, which usually start in early election year. The process culminates with delegates casting their votes at the convention to officially nominate the candidate. This selection process allows party members to express their preferences and ultimately determine who will represent the party in the election.
In a primary election, voters choose candidates who will represent their political party in the general election.
That is called an election.

A presidential election is one where citizens vote for the President. In this type of election, voters directly choose their preferred candidate for the position of President of their country. The candidate who receives the majority of the electoral votes or the popular votes (depending on the country's system) wins the election and becomes the President.
President Nixon did run for re-election in 1972 and won by a landslide, defeating Democratic candidate George McGovern. His campaign focused on issues like peace in Vietnam and economic stability, appealing to a broad base of voters. The election ultimately solidified Nixon's position, despite the later Watergate scandal that led to his resignation in 1974. Therefore, he did not choose not to run; he actively sought and won re-election.
Well, an obvious feature of our Republic (the only true Republic on Earth) is that we do use Democratic principles in our voting. All citizens have the right to go to the polls on election day and choose who they think is best fit to lead them in Representation as a Congressmen or President.

A voter typically only gets to choose from democratic candidates during a primary election held by the Democratic Party, where only candidates affiliated with that party compete for nomination to run in the general election. In closed primaries, only registered party members can vote, limiting the ballot to Democratic candidates. Additionally, in certain local or state elections where the race is uncontested, a voter may find only Democratic candidates on the ballot.
A state primary is held to determine the preferred candidate within a political party for an upcoming election. It allows party members and registered voters to choose the candidate they want to represent their party in the general election.
The Democrats do not chose the President; the American people do. Electors of the Democratic party choose their candidate at their annual National Convention, which has no specific date.
