Oregon presidential primary candidate lists released
Oregon’s Secretary of State on Tuesday released the preliminary list of candidates who will appear in the 2024 presidential primary. It comes as the secretary has been under pressure to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot.
The Republican side includes Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
The Democratic side includes President Joe Biden, Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota and author Marianne Williamson.
Oregon Supreme Court won’t hear case to remove Trump from ballot for now
“ORS 249.078 (1)(a) states that a Secretary of State may place the name of a candidate on a major party Presidential primary ballot if the Secretary, in their “sole discretion, has determined that the candidate’s candidacy is generally advocated or is recognized in national news media,” the office said Tuesday.
“To decide if candidates meet the statutory criteria, the Secretary is relying on national polls and including all candidates who have the support of a minimum of 1% of party voters,” it continued. “Candidates may also access the ballot by nominating petition as provided in ORS 249.078 (1)(b). The deadline to submit already verified signatures of nominating petition is March 14, 2024.”
A final list will be released later. Names will be removed if a candidate suspends their campaign, publicly announces that they are no longer running or is removed by the courts.
Oregon’s Supreme Court announced last week that it will not rule on whether to keep Trump off the ballot, responding to a lawsuit calling for his removal under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause. Those filing the suit on behalf of five Oregon voters say Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, disqualify him.
The Oregon high court said it will wait to hear what the U.S. Supreme Court decides as it reviews an appeal in a similar case in which the Colorado Supreme Court banned Trump from the ballot.
The Oregon primary election is set for May 21. Assuming Trump is not removed by the U.S. Supreme Court, these races may be already decided by the time Oregon gets its turn.
Republicans
Trump dominated the Iowa Caucuses Monday. He finished with 51% of the vote. DeSantis won just over 21%, edging former Haley at 19%.
Polls show Trump is expected to continue to dominate, although Haley may keep the margin under double digits in the New Hampshire primary next Tuesday.
Democrats
The first Democratic primary is Tuesday in New Hampshire, without the blessing of the Democratic National Committee. The DNC decided to make South Carolina its first primary of the season on Feb. 3. Biden struggled in the 2020 primaries until finally winning in South Carolina.
However, it is written into New Hampshire’s state law that it must be the first primary state. New Hampshire’s secretary of state did not reschedule it, so Biden will not appear on the ballot there. The only way he can win there is as a write-in.
A handful of other states reportedly only have Biden on the Democratic primary ballot.
Between now and Oregon’s primary is Super Tuesday, when 16 states including California and Texas — the two largest voting bases in the country — will choose their nominees.
The final primaries will be June 4.
Most political parties in Oregon choose a closed primary system, meaning a voter must be registered as a Democrat or Republican in order to vote in those primaries.
Entering the 2026 college football season, the Oregon Ducks are looking to not only win their first national championship in program history but also their second Big Ten title in the last three seasons.
When the Ducks joined the Big Ten in 2024, they kicked off their inaugural season in the conference in style, finishing the regular season undefeated at 13-0. This regular season was concluded with a thrilling 45-37 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten championship game.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, however, got revenge for their loss to the Ducks at Autzen Stadium earlier in the regular season, beating Oregon 41-21 in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl. Entering the 2026 season, here’s a look at the Ducks’ chances of winning the Big Ten for the second time.
Oregon Ducks Big Ten Title Odds: Who’s The Biggest Threat?
According to the latest betting odds by FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ducks have +270 odds to win the Big Ten championship this season. The one team ahead of them is the Ohio State Buckeyes at +190, who, believe it or not, are in search of their first Big Ten title since 2020. The Buckeyes were upset by the Indiana Hoosiers 13-10 in the Big Ten championship last season.
Among the top teams in the Big Ten next season, Ohio State poses the biggest threat to the Ducks’ chances of not only winning a conference title but also the national championship. The Buckeyes and Ducks will face off in what could be the game of the year in Columbus on Nov. 7.
As exciting as this matchup will be for college football fans, it likely won’t be the only one between the Buckeyes and Ducks. Regardless of which team wins the Nov. 7 showdown in Columbus, the Buckeyes and Ducks could match up again in the Big Ten title game and in the CFP.
Other Teams That Pose a Threat to Oregon
While the Buckeyes are the main threat to the Ducks’ Big Ten title aspirations, other teams will be worth watching. One of those teams is the defending national champions, the Indiana Hoosiers.
Despite the key losses this offseason, which include Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, coach Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers restocked talent with the addition of TCU Horned Frogs transfer quarterback Josh Hoover and Michigan State Spartans wide receiver Nick Marsh.
The only two losses that the Ducks suffered last season came against the Hoosiers. If the two face off in the Big Ten championship, Indiana looks to continue its dominance over the Ducks. The Hoosiers and Ducks don’t play each other during the regular season.
The USC Trojans, whom the Ducks will face at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sept. 26, also look to knock off Oregon in what should be one of the top games of the first month of the college football season. Oregon coach Dan Lanning is undefeated 2-0 against USC’s Lincoln Riley and looks to extend the Ducks’ winning streak against the Trojans to five games.

DESCHUTES COUNTY, Ore. — Oregon State Police are asking for additional witnesses to come forward after a three-vehicle crash on Highway 20E in Deschutes County left two people seriously injured.
Troopers responded at 12:47 p.m. Friday, July 10, to the crash near milepost 41. A preliminary investigation found a westbound 2013 black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck pulling a single-axle utility trailer attempted to pass a black Dodge 4500 towing a trailer. Police said an eastbound Hyundai Elantra tried to avoid a collision with the Chevrolet, lost control in the gravel on the eastbound shoulder, veered into the westbound lane and collided with the trailer pulled by the Dodge 4500.
The driver and passenger of the Hyundai were flown by air medic to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The crash affected traffic for about five hours. The driver of the Chevrolet was cited for careless driving and unsafe passing.
OSP is asking anyone who may have seen the Chevrolet driving westbound on Highway 20 at the moment of, or prior to, the collision to contact the OSP Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-442-0776 or *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone. Callers should reference case number SP26-255130.
