Abstract: We investigate the first moment of primes in progressions ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{substack{qleq x/N \ (q,a)=1}} Big(psi(x; q, a) - frac x{varphi(q)}Big) ${\displaystyle }$ as $x,Noinfty$. We show unconditionally that, when $a=1$, there is a significant bias towards negative values, uniformly for $Nleq{me}^{csqrtlogx}$. The proof combines recent results of the authors on the first moment and on the error term in the dispersion method. More generally, for $ainmathbbZsetminus0$ we prove estimates that take into account the potential existence (or inexistence) of Landau-Siegel zeros.
