## Resource

The Democratic Party is poised to keep South Carolina as the first state to hold its presidential primary, a move that centers Black voters early in the race and reignites debate over who gets the spotlight first. After months of lobbying, Nevada and South Carolina battled for the top spot, with South Carolina winning the Rules and Bylaws panel’s nod for January 22nd — followed by Nevada on Feb 1st and New Hampshire on Feb 8th. South Carolina’s backers stressed honoring Black voters and Southern political power, while Nevada’s champions highlighted its diverse, battleground electorate and voter accessibility. The final decision rests with the full DNC in August — a choice that could reshape how campaigns begin and which communities feel the earliest pressure.
