Democrats gathering to give final approval to 2028 presidential primary calendar
The plan would put South Carolina first and Nevada second as Democrats seek a calendar that gives more weight to Black and Latino voters.
- The Democratic National Committee gathers in Austin, Texas, this week to finalize the 2028 presidential primary calendar, cementing South Carolina as the 1st primary to reflect the party's coalition of Black and Latino voters.
- This overhaul follows years of a calendar led by Iowa and New Hampshire, two states with overwhelmingly white electorates; President Joe Biden pushed for the change after that state revived his 2020 campaign.
- New Hampshire and Iowa officials expressed disappointment after the early approval in July, as New Hampshire law requires its primary at least seven days before any other state, setting up a conflict with the DNC calendar.
- The DNC reported about $16 million cash on hand and more than $18 million in debt, while the GOP reported nearly $129 million in its latest Federal Election Commission filing, highlighting financial disparities.
- Ahead of bitterly contested midterm elections later this year, some Democrats are calling for DNC Chairman Ken Martin to be replaced, though leadership changes are not expected until the winter meeting after November contests.
