Friday the US Democratic Party he voted in favor of replacing Iowa with South Carolina as the starting state of the Party primaries in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election: the decision will now have to be formally approved by another ballot, which will likely have the same outcome . The state in which the party primaries begin is the one in which the selection process begins with which the candidate for the presidency is chosen: these are elections with great symbolic importance and a notable influence on the progress of the primaries in general.
The Democratic party primaries had been starting in Iowa for 50 years and the decision to change state has several reasons: among these is the desire to start voting in states more inhabited by black or non-white people, and therefore more representative of the electorate of the Democratic party, also on the impetus of pressures part of the party: in Iowa the population is overwhelmingly white.
