The 2020 Mississippi Democratic presidential primary took place on March 10, 2020, as one of several states voting the week after Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election. The Mississippi primary was an open primary, with the state awarding 41 delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of which 36 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.

Former vice president Joe Biden overwhelmingly won the primary in the southern state and every county with 81% of the vote, winning 34 of the 36 delegates, as he was the only candidate to get above 15% of the vote statewide. Senator Bernie Sanders narrowly missed the 15% threshold, and so he only received 2 district delegates.[1]
