Democrats are set to make South Carolina its first 2028 primary state.
The Democrat National Committee panel on Friday voted to make South Carolina – a state with a large black voting bloc, their first presidential primary state.
“So they will emerge as the first contest in a body of work that will have a plethora of good contests for these candidates to really vie for,” the panel said.
This is a major shift away from Iowa and Nevada – states with fewer black voters.
Recall that Joe Biden pushed for the Democrats to move its first voting state to South Carolina because that is where he made his ‘come back’ in 2020.
Joe Biden requested the change going into the 2024 election after he took a punch to the gut in Iowa and came in 5th place in the New Hampshire 2020 primaries.
They’re going for the low hanging fruit. What a surprise.
I hope it’s not the surprise they actually get.
