Iowa Democrats' Plan to Modernize 2024 Nominating Calendar and Caucus Process

Iowa Democrats have unveiled a proposal to comply with President Joe Biden's plan to revamp the 2024 presidential nominating calendar. Under the proposal, Iowa Democratic voters will have until March 5 to cast their votes for a presidential nominee through a mail-in process. This move comes after the national Democratic Party adopted a new schedule that demoted Iowa and New Hampshire while elevating South Carolina, Nevada, and Michigan. While Iowa's plan is expected to be approved by the Democratic National Committee, New Hampshire Democrats may face sanctions for deviating from the new calendar.

Iowa Democrats Set In-Person Caucus Date, Mail-In Dates Still Unresolved

The Iowa Democratic Party has approved Jan. 15 as the date for the in-person portion of its 2024 presidential caucuses, coinciding with the Iowa Republican caucuses. However, the mail-in portion of the caucuses remains unresolved, as Iowa Democrats have not yet determined when they will tally and announce the results. The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee has found Iowa's delegate selection plan to be out of compliance with party rules and has set a postmark deadline of March 5, 2024, or later for mail-in preference cards. The presidential nominating calendar continues to be in flux as national Democrats seek to reorder the process.

Iowa's Desire for TLC after Biden's Absence

Iowa Democrats are expressing concerns over the lack of attention from the national party, particularly President Joe Biden, as they face an uphill battle to regain lost seats in the state. With Republicans actively organizing and dominating the political landscape, Democrats fear that without more support and visits from high-ranking Democrats, their party's influence in Iowa will continue to erode. The state's Democrats are urging for more appearances from Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to energize the party and counter the GOP's messaging. Despite some efforts from the White House and the Democratic National Committee, Iowa Democrats feel left out and worry that the lack of investment could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, making it harder to win back voters in the state.
