Democrats could take preliminary vote on their 2028 presidential primary calendar later this week

Democrats may vote this week on the preliminary order of their 2028 presidential primary calendar, with the final decision pending approval by the full Democratic National Committee in August. South Carolina, along with states like Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Nevada, is vying to hold the first contest, emphasizing diversity as a key factor. The party shifted its calendar process after the 2020 Iowa caucuses fiasco, favoring more racially representative states.
