Democrats move first presidential primary to South Carolina to prioritize minority voters

The decision follows President Joe Biden’s recommendation to the DNC in December to “update” the primary process.

South Carolina will be the first state to hold a 2024 Democratic presidential primary after the Democratic National Committee voted to have the battleground Southern state hold its primary first in order to prioritize black voters.

The DNC’s decision Saturday also dethroned Iowa and New Hampshire from their traditional positions as the first states to host the presidential contests.

South Carolina, which is traditionally one of the first four states to hold a primary, will now host its 2024 Democratic presidential primary on Feb. 3.

“This calendar does what is long overdue,” DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison said, NBC News reported. “It puts Black voters at the front of the process in South Carolina. It keeps Nevada, where Latinos have been building power… And it adds Michigan, the heartland, where unions built the middle class of this nation. And Georgia, the forefront of the new South.”

New Hampshire and Nevada will host their primaries on Feb. 6, 2024, followed by Georgia on Feb. 13 and Michigan on Feb. 27.

  1. You mean to “count” minority voters? Why are you eastern shore folks so racist? Don’t you understand you’ll be better off in a world where even minorities can make their biggest contributions? We’ll give more than we take, if only you would let us. I know it was easier when you could keep us enslaved, but now, you should wise up. We can work hard and contribute to your well-being but you have to stop abusing and killing us.
