The Democratic National Party approved President Joe Biden’s plan to overhaul the primaries earlier this year, formalizing Democrats' intentions to shake up their party’s calendar to give the president an early advantage.
However, several states are openly rebelling against the switch up, with state officials refusing to comply with the changes that DNC committee members voted on in February.The Iowa Democratic Party state committee voted on Saturday to approve the in-person portion of their presidential caucuses on Jan. 15, 2024, the same day as Republicans. Biden booted Iowa from the top of the presidential primary calendar, replacing it with South Carolina.
Also hoping to keep its first-in-the-nation presidential primary status, New Hampshire Democrats and the DNC have been feuding over the Biden-backed rules. Under the DNC plan, New Hampshire and Nevada would follow South Carolina, with the former state contests taking place on the same day.
Georgia, another battleground state, is expected to follow those states in the DNC's plan, with its primary slated for Feb. 13, 2024. Republicans rebuked the DNC, ordering the state's primary date for May 12, 2024.
