Is this calendar change following through? Will Iowa finally be brought down a peg after choosing the wrong winner by a wide berth in 2016 and 2020?
The tentative calendar for Dems is:
SC
NH/NV
MI
Super Tuesday.
Buuuuuuuuut, NH is going to try to jump the gun because the GOP state government has no interest in the DNC trying to kill their first in the nation primary. My guess is that the eventual result is NH goes first with a 50% delegate penalty for jumping the gun so the actual order ends up
NH
SC
NV
MI
GOP is keeping Iowa Caucus but Michigan's moving into their early window without authorization because the Democratic state government doesn't care about the RNC's calendar preferences so GOP early primaries should be:
IA Caucus
NH
NV
SC
MI (50% delegate penalty for going early)
