New Mexico, she believed, had lessons to offer on how to court minority and rural voters, how to develop a good message about border security, and how to talk about public safety. \u201cThe mistake we\u2019ve made as a party,\u201d she told me, \u201cis that we don\u2019t give people something to vote for.\u201d Her competitive edge sharpened after hearing the news that a nearby state, Nevada, was a top contender for the first slot on the calendar. \u201cIf Nevada gets to be identified as that early Western state,\u201d she recalled thinking, \u201cwhy isn\u2019t New Mexico given a chance to talk about why we could be an even better choice?\u201d Then she looked at the date of the D.N.C. meeting she was supposed to attend, in Washington: May 28th. <em>Oh, no<\/em>, she thought. It was her fourth wedding anniversary. \u201cIf my husband did that to me,\u201d she said, \u201cI\u2019d be <em>really<\/em> mad. I am a hopeless romantic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=868\">Should You Recline Your Airplane Seat?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lujan Grisham asked the D.N.C.\u2019s Rules and Bylaws Committee\u2014the forty-nine-person group tasked with setting the primary calendar\u2014to rearrange the meeting\u2019s agenda so that she could make it back to Santa Fe by that evening. \u201cThis job is enough to get you divorced every day,\u201d she told the committee members, who ultimately agreed to her request. The meeting room was in the Washington Hilton, the same hotel where, a month earlier, a gunman had attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents\u2019 dinner. When it was the New Mexico delegation\u2019s turn to speak, Lujan Grisham helped extoll the virtues of her state, which frequently ranks among the poorest in the nation: seventy-six per cent of the voting population lives within an hour of Albuquerque, making it easy for candidates to meet voters. Democratic roots run so deep that some homes have framed photos of John F. Kennedy, Jr., next to portraits of Jesus Christ; and the anger there over Trump\u2019s deportation program is so profound that it might be enough to turn Republican Hispanic voters into Democratic ones. \u201cNew Mexico,\u201d she told the committee, \u201cis the entire story.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>One of the committee members thanked the Governor and her team for bringing Latino members of their delegation who could talk about issues that affected the community. Applause followed. But, as far as New Mexico\u2019s place on the primary calendar was concerned, the committee member had a different idea. \u201cWould you consider going last?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are deciding what kind of party they want to be, but first they have to decide who gets to decide. Since January, twelve states have been trying to court the Rules and Bylaws Committee, insisting that their primary is the one that will determine a Democratic Presidential candidate who can beat the Republican heir to the <em>MAGA<\/em> movement. This has turned the discussion, at least in part, into a competition over which state is most like the rest of the nation, as several officials and party chairs told me. \u201cNevada is a microcosm of the United States, with its diverse population,\u201d the Nevada senator Catherine Cortez Masto said. \u201cI think you get a microcosm of the Democratic Party here,\u201d Representative Sarah McBride, one of Delaware\u2019s biggest boosters since the Bidens, said of the literal First State. \u201cWe are a state, I think, that is the melting pot for the country,\u201d Anderson Clayton, the chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, said. \u201cWe look like America,\u201d Curtis Hertel, the chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, said. \u201cIt\u2019s a country of fifty states, but Georgia is the best representation of the diversity of our party,\u201d Charlie Bailey, who chairs the Georgia Democrats, said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>But the contest over the first-in-the-nation primaries has also become a proxy war over the future of the Party. The D.N.C.\u2019s decision, expected by late summer, could have a significant effect on the 2028 cycle\u2014from the crop of campaign staffers who can afford to relocate, to the ability of small campaigns to break through in large media markets. Although Iowa and New Hampshire haven\u2019t always picked candidates that go on to win the Presidency, the early victors get to fly out of Des Moines and Manchester with an extremely valuable spoil: momentum, the type that an inert political party might need against a major popular movement. \u201cThe issue here is about the stakes in this election, in 2028,\u201d the New Hampshire senator Maggie Hassan, who won her seat in 2016 by a thousand and seventeen votes, told me. \u201cWe have to win. We have to reverse Trumpism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more than a century, New Hampshire was the entire story\u2014since 1920, it hosted the first primary, and, beginning in 1972, Iowa hosted the first Presidential caucuses. But over time, many Democrats came to believe that those early, white-majority states no longer represented the Party\u2019s base. The reckoning came at an opportune moment for Joe Biden, who\u2019d called himself a \u201cbridge\u201d to future generations but had left the window open to running again. In December, 2022, Biden wrote to the D.N.C. expressing his concern that, although Black voters were the \u201cbackbone\u201d of the Democratic Party, the Party had not \u201crecognized their importance in our nominating calendar.\u201d The letter prompted the committee to select South Carolina, the state where Biden\u2019s flagging 2020 Presidential campaign had recovered\u2014with the endorsement of a powerful, longtime ally, Representative Jim Clyburn\u2014as the new starting point of the primaries. \u201cThat was kind of what elevated South Carolina to be first, was the Biden letter,\u201d Christale Spain, now the chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party, told me. On February 4, 2023, the D.N.C. selected South Carolina as the first primary; Biden announced his fateful r\u00ebelection campaign about two months later.<\/p>\n<p>During this cycle, according to the D.N.C.\u2019s rules, any state can apply for an early slot. Spain praised Biden\u2019s \u201cforesight\u201d in trying to win back the South, but she\u2019s told the committee members that her state is not \u201casking for nostalgia\u201d\u2014in other words, that it\u2019s not asking to go first to follow the precedent from 2024, or out of some loyalty to Biden\u2019s legacy. \u201cIf we ever, ever want to get another Jimmy Carter, another Barack Obama, another Pete Buttigieg, we have to have states like South Carolina in the window, because if we don\u2019t, and we start putting in states like Virginia and starting with these super expensive, these large states, these candidates will never be able to get off the ground,\u201d she told me.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=866\">Michigan Is the Next Big Test for the Democratic Party<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How do you campaign to be first? \u201cEverybody\u2019s lining up,\u201d Minyon Moore, a co-chair of the Rules and Bylaws Committee, said in an interview. \u201cEverybody is doing their own set of lobbying.\u201d By the committee\u2019s rubric, merely looking like America isn\u2019t enough; states also need to show that campaigning there is affordable, and that they can, as a practical matter, run fair and transparent elections. But relationships and human interaction also matter\u2014after all, this is Washington. The presentations at the D.N.C. meeting had the feeling of a science fair mixed with a trade show: The Illinois delegation showed a video that featured Governor J.\u00a0B. Pritzker apparently taking a shot of Mal\u00f6rt, the Chicago liqueur famous for making people recoil in disgust, with a voice-over declaring, \u201cIllinois can handle the tough stuff\u2014no explanation needed!\u201d When New Mexico\u2019s presentation was finished, Lujan Grisham walked around and shook everyone\u2019s hand, and then she jogged out of the room in her stilettos, presumably to catch her flight. Clayton, the North Carolina chair, told me her party had made T-shirts for the members of the committee that read \u201cWe represent a new South.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among all the delegations, Nevada\u2019s appears to be the most eager. \u201cWhy <em>shouldn\u2019t<\/em> Nevada be first in the nation, is my question,\u201d Cortez Masto, the senator, told me. The state, which is typically third on the nation\u2019s primary calendar, has been trying to move up for several cycles. Its culinary-workers\u2019 union has developed a canvassing operation that historically has helped Democrats turn out Latino voters\u2014although, in 2024, the Hispanic vote broke for Trump there. \u201cWe know that, going into 2028, if we want to win, we have to be successful among diverse voters, specifically working to earn back the support of Latino voters,\u201d Molly Forgey, a senior adviser for the Nevada Democratic Party, told me. \u201cSo, starting the calendar in Nevada is a decision and a message that we are taking Latino voters, Black voters, A.A.P.I. voters, working-class voters seriously in this election, and we\u2019re beginning that work.\u201d The culinary workers\u2019 parent union and national Latino groups have endorsed the effort. The delegation had also produced all manner of memorabilia to present to members of the committee: holiday cards, gift bags with coffee, chocolate-chip cookies, local chocolate, a biography of Senator Harry Reid, poker chips that read \u201cALL IN ON NEVADA,\u201d and plastic cups printed with \u201cNEVADA FIRST.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Julie Ch\u00e1vez Rodr\u00edguez, who worked in Biden\u2019s White House and went on to manage his and Kamala Harris\u2019s 2024 campaigns, has been making calls to advocate for Nevada as part of an informal group of alumni from the Harris, Biden, Obama, and Hillary Clinton universes. \u201cThis is not an effort to position Nevada just because, or to have a new state as first in the nation,\u201d she told me, \u201cbut to really understand and underscore why the coalition of voters that exists in Nevada\u2014and has been core to our efforts\u2014is again core to our strategy to win in this next cycle.\u201d I wondered if her endorsement of the state wasn\u2019t a play for a specific candidate, such as Harris. \u201cI definitely think that Kamala would do well in Nevada,\u201d Ch\u00e1vez Rodr\u00edguez said. \u201cI also believe that J.\u00a0B. Pritzker would do well in Nevada. Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear, especially given the makeup of Kentucky and the rural sort of components that he could speak effectively to\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. Trying to think of the cast that I know\u2014or that I <em>anticipate<\/em>.\u201d (Newsom is campaigning in Nevada this week.)<\/p>\n<p>Yet, even if many of the states are explicitly arguing that their primaries could boost the Party\u2019s standing with specific demographics, Moore, the committee\u2019s co-chair, told me that the Party can\u2019t exclude rural communities and \u201csoccer moms.\u201d \u201cI know a lot of people would like to just narrow it down to ethnicity and nationality and diversity as in <em>color<\/em>,\u201d she said, \u201cbut really, you have to broaden your definition of what that means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hassan, the senator from New Hampshire, is preoccupied not with how many candidates can do well in one state, but, rather, which candidate will do well in every state. \u201cNo state checks every box,\u201d she told me, last month. She acknowledged that there were concerns about the racial diversity of her state, but said that New Hampshire residents were uniquely qualified to vet candidates early on: they were \u201cpeople who are very used to saying to political leaders from all political perspectives\u2014\u2018I disagree with you, you haven\u2019t answered my question, I don\u2019t think you really know why you want to run.\u2019\u00a0\u201d There\u2019s another element to consider: by law, New Hampshire <em>has<\/em> to host the first primary in the nation, regardless of what the Party says. (Iowans historically choose first, but they host caucuses, not primaries.) In June, the Rules and Bylaws Committee of the D.N.C. voted to slap a two-hundred-and-seventy-thousand dollar fine on any state that staged an unauthorized competition, as New Hampshire did in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>I called Ray Buckley, the longtime chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, who also sits on the Rules and Bylaws Committee. He sounded even and calm, and he said he had \u201cfaith\u201d in his fellow committee members\u2014his delegation didn\u2019t want to \u201cpressure\u201d people or make them feel uncomfortable. Still, he wouldn\u2019t be recusing himself from the final vote. \u201cI recused myself from voting for president of the ninth-grade class, and I lost by one vote,\u201d he told me. \u201cSo I learned that lesson many, many years ago.\u201d\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=864\">Practicing Shopping-Cart Meditation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats are fighting over which states will be the first to select their 2028 Presidential nominee.
