Pennsylvania is considering legislation that would push its primary date, currently the fourth Tuesday in April as dictated by state law, back into March.
For now, President Joe Biden faces a couple of Democratic challengers, but is expected to secure his party’s nomination, while former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have dominated the early Republican race in a field that is about a dozen deep.
Many states want to hold presidential primaries earlier, to give residents more influence in the trajectory of presidential campaigns. But Pennsylvania lawmakers have resisted a change because it would push the beginning of the state's customary 13-week primary season into the winter holidays. Voting booths are seen at a collection location in the North Park Ice Skating Rink Lodge area, McCandless, Pennsylvania, Friday, Oct. 9, 2020.
In an interview, Sen. David Argall, R-Schuylkill, acknowledged that moving it to either of those dates still leaves many states with large numbers of delegates before Pennsylvania, including Super Tuesday primary states on March 5.
