Democrats are poised to boot Iowa from its traditional lead-off spot in the presidential nominating calendar in 2024. It's part of a broader effort to better reflect the party’s deeply diverse electorate by allowing less overwhelmingly white states to vote first.
"If a diverse and inclusive state isn’t at the front of the primary calendar, I’m really concerned that what we’re gonna keep seeing is the same criticisms that we’ve been seeing about the Democratic Party primary process," said Nevada Democratic Sen.

An exterior view of the Iowa Democratic Party headquarters is seen February 4, 2020 in Des Moines, Iowa. "We’re going to do the first primary whether the DNC recognizes it or not," said Shaheen whose wife, Jeanne, is a senator. "There’s a great likelihood of that." By contrast, 91% of 2020 Iowa Democratic caucus goers were white and 94% of New Hampshire primary voters were, according to VoteCast surveys.
Some rules committee members suggested that the White House has taken a keener interest in the primary calendar process recently, but others expressed frustration that the Biden administration hasn't given them clearer guidance on where its preferences lie.
