The fight to become the next first-in-the-nation slot on the Democratic presidential primary calendar is getting personal as state leaders begin jabbing each other in an effort to replace Iowa.
With the midterm cycle barely in the rearview mirror, some states are pointing to Democratic gains in their elections as evidence they should be bumped up in the calendar. Among these are Michigan and Minnesota, which are both vying to replace Iowa to represent the Midwestern region in the early-state lineup.
“With so many delegates being awarded to Michigan, it is easy to see future candidates skipping the rest of the early states altogether — to focus on a prize that delivers nearly as many delegates as all other early states combined,” Martin wrote in a two-page letter to the DNC obtained by Politico. “This result would negate the expressed purpose [sic] of our early state strategy.”
Michigan has tried to lean on its racial and economic diversity to convince party leaders to grant it an early-voting slot, as well as its reputation as a swing state. However, Martin argued that while Michigan has a larger black population, Minnesota “leads Michigan and Iowa in every other racial and ethnic category.”
