Iowa and New Hampshire, both overwhelmingly white and rural states, have had a lock on the early spots for decades. Now, Democrats are allowing any state to apply for one of up to five early slots on the primary calendar, potentially putting Iowa and New Hampshire at risk.Angelica Luna Kaufman, a spokesperson for the Texas Democrats, confirmed the plans to Axios on Wednesday.Texas meets many of the criteria set forth by a DNC resolution passed last week, including diversity – both racial and geographic – as well as competitiveness in a general election.
A potential obstacle is the GOP-held state legislature, which needs to sign off on any plan to change the election date.Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina are all fighting to keep their spots, while Nevada is looking to jump ahead to first.Other states considering bids include Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Georgia.
