WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is recommending the Democratic National Committee place Michigan among the earliest states to cast votes for the 2024 presidential nominating contest, according to U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell.
Biden, in a letter to DNC members late Thursday, urged them to eliminate caucuses as part of Democrats' nominating process to ensure voters of color have a stronger voice in choosing the nominee, and to welcome diversity "of our party and our nation — economically, geographically, demographically."
"Working class families are the backbone of our economy. Union households must be represented in greater numbers than before," Biden wrote. "We need to include voters from many backgrounds, not to ratify the choice of the earliest states, but as full stakeholders in making the choice."
