South Carolina to Vote First in Democrats’ Revamped 2028 Presidential Primary Calendar

The Democratic National Committee has approved sweeping changes to the 2028 presidential primary calendar. Under the new schedule, South Carolina voters would cast the first ballots on January 22, followed by Nevada on February 1. Iowa and New Hampshire would no longer be the first states to hold nominating contests. The move could expand the influence of Black and Latino voters on narrowing the field of presidential contenders. www.democracynow.org
