“President Biden has asked leaders of the Democratic National Committee to make South Carolina the nation’s first primary state, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada a week later, and hold subsequent weekly primaries in Georgia and Michigan,” the Washington Post reports.
South Carolina was the state that sparked Biden's comeback in the 2020 Primary. NH will surely fight for their primary to go first, so SC may get bumped to 2nd. But either way seems fine to me. I take this as a sign Michigan will be in the early mix of states, but probably 4th after the smaller states (NH, SC, NV) have gone.
I hope this is a sign we are dumping Iowa.
That would be a boost for esatblishment Democrats while picking a state that is demographically unrepresentative of the party, like Iowa.
Can't we just do two states at once ?
Michigan AND South Carolina ? For the first set of contests ?
