Democrats approved a plan to reorder their 2024 presidential primary calendar during a party gathering on Saturday in Pennsylvania.

The national party green-lit a calendar that makes South Carolina the initial contest, elevates Nevada to the second position alongside New Hampshire and welcomes Georgia and Michigan to the early primary window for the first time.

Iowa's caucus, which has traditionally served as the starting-gun for the presidential election, is being displaced. Democrats are seeking to amplify diverse voices earlier in their presidential selection process. The calendar Democrats approved on Saturday will only apply to 2024. They have vowed to revisit it before the 2028 election.
