Nevada is angling to oust South Carolina as the first state to hold the Democratic primary in the 2028 elections, a move that is causing a ruckus in the caucus. 

South Carolina was first on Democrats’ primary calendar in 2024, when the state played a critical part in nominating then-President Joe Biden for a second term. Some Democrats favor the state to come in first due to its sizable black population, as the demographic is considered a key component of the party’s power.
