Who Wins (and Who Loses) in the Democrats’ New 2028 Primary Calendar?

The Democratic Party has decided to change the order of states in their primary elections, putting South Carolina first. This shift is significant because it gives more influence to Black and Latino voters, who make up a large part of South Carolina’s population. By moving South Carolina to the front, the Democratic Party aims to better reflect the diversity of its supporters and ensure that these communities have a stronger voice in choosing the party’s presidential candidate. This change could impact which candidates gain early momentum and shape the issues that are prioritized in the election. QUESTION: How might giving more influence to diverse communities in the election process change the way political candidates address important issues?
