0:50Now PlayingSouth Carolina will now be the first state to vote in presidential primaries with Democrats knocking Iowa out of its long-held spot.
RELATEDNevada caucus results aren't the endall beall
National Democrats voted to reorder the presidential nominating calendar Friday, stripping Iowa of its long-held position at the front of the line and instituting new sanctions that could limit the state’s ability to defy them and launch a rogue contest.
After nearly a year of hearings and debate over a possible primary order, President Joe Biden offered a proposed calendar last week to the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee. The committee quickly coalesced around the president’s plan, approving it at a Friday afternoon meeting in Washington, D.C. It is expected to be ratified by the full DNC early next year.
The changes are dramatic, replacing Iowa with South Carolina as the first state to nominate a Democratic candidate for president. Nevada and New Hampshire follow with a shared primary date. Michigan and then Georgia round out the early voting window before Super Tuesday.
