The 2020 Florida Democratic presidential primary took place on March 17, 2020, the third primary Tuesday of the month, as one of three states voting on the same day in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election, while the contest in Ohio had been postponed for roughly a month. The Florida primary was a closed primary, with the state awarding the fourth-largest amount of delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention and the third-largest amount up to that point: 249 delegates, of which 219 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.

Former vice president Joe Biden was the clear winner of the Florida primary, receiving almost 62% of the vote and 162 delegates, winning every county in the state and significantly extending his delegate lead.[1] Senator Bernie Sanders placed second with only around 23% of the vote and 57 delegates, while former mayor Michael Bloomberg, who had already withdrawn, still got 8% of the vote.
