According to numerous reports, twelve states have applied to hold their 2028 Democratic presidential primary before Super Tuesday.
Super Tuesday is the first Tuesday in March.
The DNC will choose one state from each region to hold its primary a month before Super Tuesday. ABC News reported:
The states that applied in each region, per the member, are:
Illinois? Really? It's a solid blue state. Most Republican governors have been Democrat-lite because it's the only way to win the state.
Did you notice two states missing? Texas and California, which apparently want to stay on Super Tuesday. But their Super Tuesday appearances are new, too.
"The purpose of the order is to tell a story," said Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale, Department Store Union, who sits on the DNC panel, as reported by The New York Times. "The importance of the Democratic primary calendar is establishing a narrative of what the Democratic Party is about."
Well, the order can also indicate which candidate has momentum, which is probably why the DNC wants to start from scratch.
The New York Times reported that the DNC's criteria included rigorousness, fairness, and efficiency.
Ah, yes,...
