DNC Approves 2028 Presidential Nominating Cycle Starting in South Carolina, Nevada
The new order gives Michigan the fifth primary slot and pushes Iowa out of the first six states, according to the Democratic National Committee.
- On Saturday, the Democratic National Committee approved a 2028 presidential nominating calendar that excludes Iowa, ending its five-decade status as the first-in-the-nation contest.
- Demographic concerns and reporting failures during the 2020 contest prompted the committee to remove Iowa from its early-voting window, citing the state's inability to administer caucuses effectively.
- Michigan will hold its presidential primary on February 22, 2028, becoming the first Midwestern state to weigh in on the nomination under the approved order.
- Defying the party's calendar remains an option for some Iowa Democrats, who cite state law requiring caucuses first despite risking tougher DNC penalties.
- Candidates including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have already made public appearances in Michigan, signaling the state's growing importance in the 2028 race.
