Being on the ballot means little in and of itself. Having the party apparatus behind you is what matters. You don't need to win the primary to get on the ballot.

Candidates, political scientists, and pundits all insist it’s the other way around. The average voter is a party loyalist. They’ll “vote blue no matter who,” or “always pick working families.” Getting on the Democratic ticket is worth far more than the DNC funding, especially for a candidate who just won the primary on a grassroots campaign.
