Iowa Democrats Yield to DNC, Lose First-in-the-Nation Status

The Democratic Party has officially removed Iowa from its position as the first state in the presidential nominating process, approving the state Democratic Party's plan to release their results on Super Tuesday next year. South Carolina has been elevated to the first spot, followed by New Hampshire, Nevada, and then Michigan. However, New Hampshire has refused to relinquish its spot to South Carolina, setting up a conflict with the national party. Iowa Democrats hope to return to the early window for the 2028 presidential nominating process.
