What do you think about Iowa no longer being the first state in the Democratic Primaries?

Asked by JLeslie (65411points) February 5th, 2023

What do you think about South Carolina going first? Months ago I heard people debating that SC should be first because it represents the party better. Personally, I think Michigan represents the make up of the party better. I also don’t necessarily understand the strategy for which state goes first, is it purposely in states that are red states overall with relatively small registered Democrats not only as a ratio to the state population, but also as a ratio to the registered Democrats at large if you ranked the states.

Here’s an article about it.

From the article:
The South Carolina primary will take place on Feb. 3. New Hampshire and Nevada will hold their contests on Feb. 6, while Georgia will move up in the order and vote on Feb. 13.

Iowa has not yet been slotted back into the primary calendar.

The first Midwestern state currently scheduled to hold a primary in 2024 will be Michigan, which was slotted to Feb. 27 by the DNC.
