Iowa Democrats Say They’ll Consider Fate of ’28 Caucuses After Midterm Elections
The recommendation expands the early primary calendar to six states and reflects Democrats’ push for more diverse voters in the nominating process.
- On Friday, the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee voted to designate South Carolina as the party's first 2028 presidential primary, pending final confirmation from the full DNC next month.
- Committee members championed the Palmetto State to better reflect the party's diverse coalition, particularly Black voters, following President Joe Biden's 2024 primary success there and his 2020 campaign revival.
- The early primary window will expand to six states—Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Michigan, and Virginia—ending Iowa's long-standing status as the first-in-the-nation contest.
- Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Rita Hart called the decision "very messy," while New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley noted state law conflicts with the new calendar.
- Approval from the full Democratic National Committee is expected during its August 13-15 meeting, where leaders describe the proposal as the "most diverse calendar Democrats have ever had.
