Democrats to Finalize 2028 Presidential Primary Calendar, Prioritizing Diverse States

Democrats are convening this week in Austin, Texas, to give final approval to their 2028 presidential primary calendar. The Democratic National Committee is expected to vote on a new order that places South Carolina's primary first on January 22, followed by Nevada on February 1. This overhaul aims to increase the influence of states with more diverse populations, particularly Black and Latino voters, in the presidential nomination process.
