After years of the Presidential primary system every four years being controlled by Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada, the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden are promoting a massive change to reflect reality about states and influence.
The plan proposed by Joe Biden would put South Carolina first, followed by a joint date for Nevada and New Hampshire, and then Georgia and Michigan, with Iowa left out of the equation with its outdated caucus system.
Of course, Iowa is upset, and New Hampshire is also unhappy, as they wish to go first, and might still arrange for a primary, due to state law, a week before the beginning of the primary season, but that could lead to refusal to seat delegates chosen in an unauthorized earlier primary.
No plan will please everyone, but this sounds like an excellent reorganization, although Republicans may not follow the same plan.
Agree Ron! In 2012 a miscount resulted in Romney being declared the winner rather than Santorum and before the results were corrected, Romney had gotten the endorsement of the 2008 nominee John McCain when it may have otherwise gone to Jon Huntsman, who had a far better chance in the general election. A Huntsman victory would have kept the GOP viable and protected against the Trump nightmare that followed!
Great insight, Bob! Thanks for the analysis!
