Democrats Finalize 2028 Primary Calendar Emphasizing Diverse Early States
The Democratic National Committee has finalized its 2028 presidential primary calendar, starting with South Carolina on January 22, followed by Nevada, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Michigan, and Virginia. This schedule emphasizes states with diverse populations, particularly Black and Latino voters, and organized labor, reflecting the party's coalition. Iowa has been removed from the early lineup. Party leaders view this approach as enhancing candidates' readiness for the general election by focusing on key demographic groups.
