Democrats Want Nevada to Replace New Hamphire in Hosting an Early Presidential Primary

Nevada Democrats would like to replace New Hampshire in hosting an early presidential primary. They say this would give a more urban and racially diverse group of voters a greater say in picking the party’s nominee. The behind-the-scenes lobbying, is reportedly led by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, tapping into the party’s discontent with Iowa’s and New Hampshire’s primary. Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses were a mess, that left the winner unclear. New Hampshire’s primary wound up a near tie between two candidates who ultimately lost, while the eventual nominee, now-President Joe Biden, came in fifth. Of course in the last caucus, Nevada democrats picked Bernie Sanders, causing democrats across the country to rally behind Biden.
