South Carolina 1st, Nevada 2nd on 2028 presidential nominating calendar, Democratic panel says

The Democratic National Committee has recommended South Carolina as the first state for the party's primary in the 2028 presidential election, with Nevada coming in second. This decision, which came after a close 26-19-4 vote in favor of South Carolina over Nevada and New Hampshire, is a significant step in the party's planning for the upcoming election cycle. This move underscores South Carolina's importance in the party's strategy, likely due to its diverse electorate and early influence in presidential primaries. The final decision still requires approval from the full committee, but this recommendation has already sparked discussions on the evolving dynamics of primary elections.
