Democratic panel recommends South Carolina lead 2028 presidential nominating calendar

The Democratic National Committee's committee has suggested South Carolina should kick off the 2028 presidential nominating calendar, a move that could shift early primary influence from traditional states like New Hampshire and Nevada. This decision, which passed with a 26-19-4 vote, is pending final approval from the full DNC. This shift could highlight South Carolina's growing political clout and impact the dynamics of early presidential campaigns, potentially reshaping how candidates strategize their campaigns in the coming years.
