DNC Approves New Early Presidential Primary Schedule


The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday, Approved an Adjusted Early Presidential Primary State schedule, formalizing their intentions to move Iowa out of the Early lineup, and shake up the Order with South Carolina going First.

The DNC Committee Members Approved theEearly Presidential Primary Schedule for 2024, during the Winter Meeting in Philadelphia.

It begins with South Carolina, followed by Nevada, and New Hampshire on the same day, then Georgia, and Michigan Fourth.

The DNC has given Georgia and New Hampshire an Extension into early June, to comply with the Committee’s Request to Change their Primary Day, and expand Early Voting access, amid concerns that they may be Unable to do so in time, or at all.

Given that both Georgia and New Hampshire, have GOP-controlled Legislatures, Republican Governors, and Secretaries of State, changing their State’s respective Primary Processes could prove Challenging.

It’s unclear how Democrats might proceed if both States are unable to comply with the New Early Presidential Primary calendar.

The DNC’s Winter Meeting comes, as President Biden sent a Letter to the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, asking them to Readjust the existing Presidential Primary Calendar, which had Iowa holding its Caucuses First, followed by New Hampshire as the First-in-the-Nation Presidential Primary.

Under the New Primary Schedule, No State can have a Caucus and be in the Early Primaries.

Would the DNC have to run Party Funded Primaries, if Georgia and New Hampshire Legislatures don't allow the changes?
