Biden added Democrats should"no longer allow caucuses as part of our nominating process," a foundational principle that the Rules and Bylaws Committee had set in weighing which states to elevate to the early window.Biden also called on the committee to review the calendar every four years in order to"ensure that it continues to reflect the values and diversity of our party and country.
"I will, however, say that New Hampshire does have a statute. We do have a law and we will not be breaking our law," she said. Hassan also said"New Hampshire's law is clear and our primary will continue to be First in the Nation."The committee approved waivers to allow South Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire, Georgia and Michigan to hold their primaries in the early window.
Presidential candidates would also be precluded from campaigning in any state that goes outside the DNC-approved window. The committee noted that in this context, campaigning includes putting a candidate's name on the ballot in that state. The committee was transparent about what it's looking for: demographic diversity, states that have primaries rather than caucuses, election administration, and how competitive a state will be in the general election.
"South Carolina was the first opportunity for Black voters who are really the backbone of the Democratic Party to have a meaningful say," Perez said."So I think one thing that needs to happen is we shouldn't be waiting for until the fourth primary or caucus to have Black voters have their opportunity to be heard.", a heavy union presence and a mix of urban and rural areas.
