Episode Details

Democrats are poised to reshape their 2028 presidential nomination process, with a key committee set to vote this week on the order of early primary states — potentially putting South Carolina first, ahead of Iowa and New Hampshire. This shift, driven by a desire for greater diversity and inclusivity since the chaotic 2020 Iowa caucuses, reflects a strategic push to build broad coalitions from day one. South Carolina’s leadership, bolstered by past wins like Congressman Jim Clyburn’s pivotal role in Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, is lobbying hard to keep the state at the front — backed by support from five Southern Democratic chairs. While the committee’s vote is a major step, the final decision rests with the full DNC in August, as the party seeks to align its early contests with its vision for national victory.
