A Democratic National Committee panel has voted to give New Hampshire and Georgia more time to make changes that would allow both to be part of a revamped group of five states leading off the party’s presidential primary starting next year
, which relies heavily on African American voters.
Nevada and South Carolina have already agreed to comply with the new calendar's requirements. In Michigan, moving the primary date requires an act of the Legislature. Democrats control both chambers in that state, but they would need Republican support to enact the change before the end of February 2024, so it's not yet clear when the proposed changes might be approved.
“I really do believe it is irresponsible, the statements being made in New Hampshire," said Lee Saunders, a rules committee member and president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.Rules committee member Leah Daughtry said she was “similarly taken aback and quite frankly shocked” by New Hampshire's objections to the new calendar.
