A push by President Joe Biden to overhaul the Democratic presidential primary calendar hit a snag Friday after two states were unable to meet a key deadline.
Jim Roosevelt and Minyon Moore, co-chairs of the Rules and Bylaws Committee of the Democratic National Committee, asked for more time for Georgia and New Hampshire to hammer out issues preventing them from complying with the proposed changes."We expected both the New Hampshire and Georgia efforts to be complicated but well worth the effort if we can get them done," the duo wrote."We remain committed to doing all we can to see our plan through.
In December, the committee approved a provisional calendar that would elevate South Carolina as the first state in the nation to vote in the 2024 presidential primaries, bumping Iowa and New Hampshire from the top spots. The new calendar has the Palmetto State voting on Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada three days later, Georgia on Feb. 12, 2024, and Michigan on Feb. 27, 2024.
Before the DNC signs off on the changes, the five states must prove that they are moving to hold their primaries on the new dates, which in some cases has been easier said than done. For New Hampshire to stay one of the early states, it must also show that it intends to expand access to early voting. If it is unable to do so, the state could be penalized, forced to hold its primary at a later date, and lose half of its delegates.
