which hold the third and fourth contests in the DNC’s schedule, to reapply for early state status in the 2024 calendar. Other states that are interested in moving up to the top of the calendar may also apply.
Iowa’s leadoff status faced scrutiny last month at the DNC’s winter meeting, as many members who spoke were clearly open to reordering the presidential nominating calendar to better reflect the party’s growing diversity and values.

Those states will make their presentations to the committee in late June, with the panel making its recommendations for the new nominating calendar lineup by early July.
New Hampshire executive director Troy Price asserted to Fox News in a statement that New Hampshire will retain its position in the calendar."New Hampshire has a great story to tell, and we look forward to sharing that in the coming weeks and months," he said."But, make no mistake, New Hampshire will retain its first-in-the-nation primary."
