DETROIT — Michigan Democrats say they'll work to make the battleground state's presidential primary take place earlier in 2024, as their party considers reshuffling the voting order for the next election.
"It’s time for Michigan to take a lead in the presidential primaries," U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told the crowd at the state Democratic Party's endorsement convention at Huntington Place in Detroit on Saturday.
For years, Democrats and Republicans in Michigan have discussed moving the state's presidential primaries up to give them more influence in the selection of the parties' nominees. But those hopes have not panned out as planned.
