The 2004 presidential campaign of John Edwards, U.S. Senator from North Carolina, began on September 16, 2003. Edwards ran for the Democratic presidential nomination of 2004. He was a major challenger to John Kerry, who he avoided attacking largely but eventually characterized as a "Washington insider". When Kerry won in nine out of ten states during March 2004 Super Tuesday primaries, Edwards withdrew. Kerry announced in July 2004 that Edwards would be his running mate and vice presidential nominee during the presidential election, which was won by incumbent Republican president George W. Bush in November 2004.
