Michigan poised to replace Iowa as early Democratic presidential state

Politico

Michigan is poised to replace Iowa as an early Democratic presidential nominating state, upending the current primary lineup and breaking with a half-century of precedent.

President Joe Biden signaled to Michigan Democrats during his trip to the state this week that he’d bless their bid to hold their primary in the early-state window in the future, according to a senior Michigan Democrat.

Separately, White House aides informed state officials of their recommendation to the Democratic National Committee, according to senior party leaders. The DNC’s rules committee is meeting on Friday to discuss the issue.
