NEW: DNC panel chooses South Carolina as first state on 2024 nominating calendar
Grumblings over Iowa reached a fever pitch during the last presidential cycle over a software mishap that delayed vote-tallying for days. The Democratic National Committee’s rule-making arm voted in favor of stripping Iowa of the position it has held for over four decades Friday. It will have to be approved by the full DNC to take effect.
“Just like my administration, the Democratic Party has worked hard to reflect the diversity of America — but our nominating process does not," Biden wrote in a letter."For fifty years, the first month of our presidential nominating process has been a treasured part of our democratic process, but it is time to update the process for the 21st century. I am committed to working with the DNC to get this done.
