WASHINGTONPOST (Sammy Westfall) - Democrats approve 2028 primary calendar that puts South Carolina first
South Carolina would hold its primary on Jan. 22, 2028 under the Democratic National Committee’s plan. Nevada would follow on Feb. 1. The plan aims to give a bigger voice to Black and Latino voters.
AI:The Democratic National Committee has finalized its 2028 primary calendar, officially moving South Carolina to the kickoff position on January 22, 2028, with Nevada following on February 1. While the DNC claims this realignment is intended to empower Black and Latino voters, it serves as a calculated maneuver to reshape the candidate selection process by prioritizing specific demographic blocs to maintain strict party orthodoxy. This shift continues a broader pattern of institutional maneuvering within the Democratic Party to control its internal direction ahead of future election cycles.Open
