The Democratic Party approved the reordering of its 2024 presidential primary, replacing Iowa with South Carolina in the leadoff spot as part of a major shake-up meant to empower Black and other minority voters critical to its base of support.
“The Democratic Party looks like America and so does this proposal,” the party chairman, Jaime Harrison, said before the plan was approved. It “elevates the backbone of our party,” he said.
That’s especially true for Michigan and Georgia, both of which voted for Republican Donald Trump in 2016 before flipping to Biden in 2020. “These things may be symbolic, but they’re realistic,” Clyburn said, noting the party’s typical revisiting of the calendar before each cycle. “This is not unusual.”
Saturday’s vote, which came during three days of DNC meetings, does not fully end the wrangling over the matter.“We have created an opportunity for other states to take a run at the pre-window,” said Scott Brennan, a rules committee member from Iowa “The DNC is set to punish us despite the fact we don’t have the ability to unilaterally change state law,” said JoAnne Dowdell, a rules committee member from New Hampshire.New Democratic rules include penalties for states that attempt to jump ahead of others, including possibly losing delegates to the party’s national convention.
