ATLANTA — National Democrats voted Saturday to overhaul the presidential primary process and put Georgia near the start of the schedule. But the party’s plan to elevate Georgia won’t mean anything without support from state Republicans so far unwilling to endorse the change.
Members of the Democratic National Committee decided at the party’s meeting in Philadelphia to back a proposal that puts South Carolina at the top of the 2024 lineup, followed by New Hampshire, Nevada, Georgia and Michigan.
It’s part of Biden’s effort to upend the decades-old schedule to better reflect the party’s racial and geographic diversity — and minimize Iowa after disastrous caucuses three years ago.
