'No other states were asked to share a date,' a Nevada campaign veteran said. 'Reid would be pissed and his team is pissed.'
After receiving a letter from Biden, the Democratic National Committee voted to drop Iowa from its top five states, shooting South Carolina to the front of the line on February 3, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada on February 6, with Georgia's primary on February 13, and Michigan rounding out the top five on February 27.
Julian Castro, a former presidential candidate who three years ago called for meaningful reforms, saying that Iowa and New Hampshire barely"have any Black people in them, any people of color," sees the proposed schedule as a vast improvement over the current one because it"better reflects the diversity within the party and country."
"The Latino community here in Nevada has been a huge part of the winning coalition for Democrats over the last several cycles," he said.
