Ambassador to the United Nation Nikki Haley as Haley speaks at the Des Moines Register SoapBox during the Iowa State Fair on August 12, 2023 in Des Moines, Iowa. Iowa Democrats are officially conceding the position they have held in every presidential nominating contest since 1972: going first. Iowa Democrats will still hold an in-person caucus on Jan. 15, 2024, but that caucus will be for "party business," which includes platform resolutions and electing unbound delegates and precinct chairs. Scanlan had been keeping a close eye on when the Iowa Democrats planned to open their results. He also added he is not ready to set the date for the New Hampshire presidential primary yet.

Iowa Republicans have already scheduled their caucus for that day, which falls on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. But while the GOP's caucus will kick off voting in the party's competitive presidential primary, Democrats will only meet in person then to participate in down-ballot races and deal with nonpresidential party business. “We believe this delegate selection plan is definitely a compromise,” Rita Hart, chair of the Iowa Democratic Party, said on a conference call with reporters. Iowa’s plans haven’t yet been approved by the Democratic National Committee, but its rule-making panel was planning to discuss the proposed changes later Friday during its meeting in St. Louis. Iowa Democrats' new plan comes after President Joe Biden asked the national Democratic Party to change the traditional order of its primary and let South Carolina go first.

Iowa Democrats will now begin mail ballot registration on Nov. 1 and hold an in-person caucus - along with Republicans - on January 15. The results for the Democratic race will be released on March 5, on Super Tuesday. THE TAKEThe compromise honors Iowa's traditional role while ceding influence to more diverse states like South Carolina and Michigan. But President Joe Biden earlier this year replaced Iowa with South Carolina, a state with significantly more Black voters, and one that saved his 2020 presidential campaign. South Carolina will be followed by New Hampshire and Nevada one week later, and then by primaries in Georgia and Michigan.

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Iowa Democrats find themselves at a crossroads. Iowa Democrats have watched Republicans dominate in a slate of competitive contests in recent years. Former Iowa state Sen. Rita Hart, who lost a close congressional race in 2020, now leads the state's Democratic Party. Celsi pointed to the Democratic minority's inability to curtail the conservative agenda of the GOP legislature and the diminished importance of Iowa in the Democratic presidential nominating process. Hart is now the chair of the Iowa Democratic Party.

South Carolina will now kick things off for Democrats, with Michigan — and potentially Georgia — joining the early states in the biggest shakeup of the presidential primary in years, while Nevada will go second. "The Democratic Party looks like America," Harrison added, "And so does this proposal." Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart said the removal of Iowa will expose the party to charges that they have "turned their back on Iowa and rural America." New Hampshire Democrats have asked for more time to try to come up with a solution, but most Democrats say the writing on the wall and expect there will be no solution to the impasse. "Y'all, for far too long, our party's nominating calendar has not reflected this country looks like," said Georgia Rep. Nikema Williams, who is also the chairwoman of the state Democratic Party.
