The Democratic National Committee is taking an important step toward overturning the long-running presidential calendar and the calendar of the Parliamentary Group Iowa and New Hampshire has been running for decades. The DNC’s Committee on Regulations and Statutes voted Wednesday to require the two states, as well as Nevada and South Carolina, which are in the third and fourth bids on the DNC program, to re-apply for an early state in the calendar. 2024. Other states interested in climbing to the top of the calendar may also apply. The move by the Rules and Statutes group, which oversees the party’s presidential nomination calendar, would also allow a fifth state to gain carve-out status, meaning it will run its pre-election nominations before in March 2024, when the other states are allowed to start holding their competitions. IOWA GOP PRESIDENT NOMINATES IF DEMOCRATS AVOID THE STATE FROM THE 2024 CALENDAR, IT IS A “MIDDLE FINGER” IN RURAL AMERICA ARCHIVE – The Iowa Caucuses Exhibition in Des Moines, Iowa (Fox News) Iowa community bodies have been on both the Democrat and Republican nominees’ calendars for half a century, and New Hampshire has held the country’s first primary in a century. But the blow for many years against both states among many Democrats was that they are too white, lack significant urban areas and do not represent a Democratic Party that has become increasingly diverse in recent decades. Nevada and South Carolina are much different than Iowa or New Hampshire. TWO YEARS LEFT UNTIL IOWA CAUCASUS, LITTLE GOP IS LOOKING FORWARD TO PUBLISH CANDIDATE CALENDAR To complicate matters, Nevada Democrats last year passed a bill that would turn the state’s presidential caucus into a qualifier and aimed to move the race to first place in the race for the White House, ahead of Iowa and New Hamsa.

He stressed that there is a need for change, “not four years from now – now”. 2024 WATCH: HERE ANOTHER SIGNAL THE NEXT WHITE HOUSE IS WARMING “I think states like New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina can come up with a compelling argument about how they fit into this picture,” said Elleithee, who is also a Fox News contributor. “I find it difficult to see it with Iowa, but Iowa should have the right to submit it to us.” The move by the Committee on Regulations and Statutes will now require states hoping to maintain or obtain early state status to submit a letter of intent no later than May 6, with a formal application to be submitted a month later. These states will make their presentations to the committee in late June, with the committee making its recommendations for the new set of nominations by early July. Full DNC members will vote on the 2024 calendar when the national party convenes its summer session later this summer. In addition to the four current states with early voting, Michigan and New Jersey have said they will apply for carve-out status. TRUMP 2024 TEASE DOES NOT STOP OTHER POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FROM THE VISIT OF IOWA AND NH The Committee on Regulations’s draft plan includes factors to consider when deciding which states will be first on the 2024 calendar.
