The first internal party nomination speech was the internal primary held within the Democratic Party's Eighteenth District, where party members listened to the candidates' speeches to cast their votes and determined the number of votes these candidates received. Essentially, once the first nomination speech concluded, apart from the top two, no matter how many candidates were left behind, they wouldn't have another opportunity, because the election campaign that followed would see the Eighteenth District Democratic Committee focus only on the first two candidates. Then, during the second round of internal nomination speeches, based on party interests and candidates' abilities, the committee would decide which one of the two to fully support. Furthermore, they would persuade the other candidate to call on his supporters to switch support to his opponent, consolidating all forces to ensure unity and the ability to oppose the Republican candidate chosen in the same manner.
