Democrats recommend South Carolina to host first 2028 primary

The Democratic National Committee’s rules and bylaws committee recommended South Carolina to host the first 2028 presidential primary. New Hampshire is expected to hold an earlier contest due to state law, while Michigan is proposed to replace Iowa as the first Midwest primary, and New Mexico and Virginia would move to the first month. Rep. James Clyburn reversed his stance to support South Carolina’s lead role, emphasizing the importance of Black voters in the selection process.
