The process of electing the 45th president is coming to an end in a few days, but many people do not realize that the election is in fact the culmination of a years-long process to select, endorse, and promote a candidate. This process begins with political parties. In this short book, the entire process of electing a candidate to local, state, or national office is explored based on the roles played by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Organization, financing, nominations, endorsements, conventions, and advertisements are discussed. Readers of all things political will appreciate the information presented and will gain a better understanding of the entire process.
