Winning an election involves two main parts - the nomination process and campaigning. The nomination process includes caucuses, primaries, and national conventions where party representatives select their candidates. Campaigning is primarily done through advertising in the media, canvassing voters in person, and utilizing endorsements from famous individuals to gain support. Funding can come from both public sources as well as private donations and PACs, with regulations on donation limits.
