Members of a key Democratic National Committee panel were largely supportive of Pres. Biden's proposed major changes to Democrats' longstanding rundown of which states get to cast their votes before Super Tuesday.
Jamie Harrison, chairman of the Democratic National Committee , speaks during a DNC rally at Howard Theatre in Washington, DC, Nov. 10, 2022.Members of a key Democratic National Committee panel on Friday voted in favor of President Joe Biden's proposed major changes to Democrats' longstanding rundown of which states get to cast their votes before Super Tuesday.
"As always, I am proud to be a Democrat. But I am even prouder to be an American. Thank you all so much for what you have done today." The strongest resistance to the new nominating window came from Iowa -- booted completely from the early window under Biden's proposal -- and early state New Hampshire, whose RBC member Joanne Dowdell said would not accommodate changes to their state law which currently dictates they be the first primary in the window. In Biden's suggested lineup, the Granite State shares an early primary date with Nevada.
"We are not doing this to honor Joe Biden. President Biden is doing this to honor what the Democratic Party has underscored is our values historically," she said.

Biden pointedly rejected Iowa's caucus process in his letter to the committee on Thursday night, calling them "anti-participatory." Brennan noted during the meeting that Republicans would use Democrats' pull away from the rural, middle America voters as fodder during a general election. "I do think it is important that we as a party, hold up with pride, a calendar that allows us to talk to all kinds of voters. and that we not allow the Republicans to disparage what we are doing because I think this calendar makes us more competitive. We don't need to feel defensive about this calendar. When Republicans attack us. We can actually pull this up with pride and say you try to play here.
