South Carolina Takes First Primary Spot | Concord News
Description
The DNC’s Rules Committee just recommended South Carolina as the first state to vote in the 2028 Democratic primary — a close call over Nevada and New Hampshire — setting the stage for a historic shift. If approved, it would be the second straight time South Carolina leads off, with the committee eyeing a new six-state early window including Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, and Virginia. Iowa, long the first, is likely to be sidelined after its 2020 caucuses collapsed in chaos — and with Biden’s 2020 South Carolina win as a turning point, the move signals a deliberate push to amplify Southern and Black voices in the nomination process. The full DNC will decide in August — and if it goes through, the 2028 race could start very differently.
