Under the new calendar, proposed based on recommendations from President Biden, candidates would face voters in South Carolina on Feb. 3, followed by Nevada and New Hampshire on Feb. 6, then Georgia and Michigan.
But the new calendar faces additional hurdles, namely a lack of cooperation from Republican leaders in New Hampshire and Georgia.
The proposal to change the primary calendar was first advanced by the party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee in December, before coming to a vote before the full party committee at its winter meeting in Philadelphia. The plan passed by voice vote with overwhelming support and only a handful of “nay” votes.
Under Democratic Party rules, no state or territory is allowed to hold a presidential nominating contest before March unless granted a waiver by the national party. For nearly 50 years, Iowa and New Hampshire have held the first caucus and primary. In 2008, Nevada and South Carolina were added to the early window.
Sununu, who is considering running for president, has made clear he has no intention of helping Democrats implement their calendar., accusing the Democratic Party of trying to “manipulate the system” to help Biden. Since 1975, state law in New Hampshire has required its secretary of state to set the date of the presidential primary one week prior to any similar contest — meaning after the Iowa caucus, but before contests held in any other primary states.
Scott Brennan, a DNC committee member from Iowa, said that advancing the proposal, despite Georgia and New Hampshire failing to meet the terms of their waiver, would introduce uncertainty into the process.
