Democrats approve new primary election calendar, putting South Carolina first

The Democratic Party has set a new primary election calendar for the 2028 presidential race, starting with South Carolina, a move aimed at enhancing the influence of Black and Latino voters. Following South Carolina, Nevada will hold the second primary, with New Hampshire, New Mexico, Michigan, and Virginia also featuring early in the sequence. This strategic shift reflects a broader effort to prioritize demographics that have been historically underrepresented in the electoral process, potentially reshaping how future campaigns target voter bases.
