Twelve US states are seeking early spots on the Democratic Party’s 2028 primary calendar.
According to reports, these states aim to secure a prominent position in the party’s nomination process. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has not yet released its official primary schedule.
New Hampshire has cleared the first hurdle by passing a bill that would make it the first state to vote in the 2028 presidential primary.
The push for early spots on the primary calendar is driven by several factors, including the desire to attract more voters and increase party participation. The DNC’s decision on the primary schedule is expected to be made in the coming months.
Several high-profile figures have expressed their support for a “citizen-led” presidential primary, which would give ordinary citizens a greater say in the nomination process.
