      Biden reordered the Democratic primary schedule to reduce the influence of Iowa and new Hampshire. I think South Carolina is supposed to be first now. New Hampshire doesn’t want to recognize this because their state Constitution (or state law I can’t remember) says they have to be the first primary. All the states should still have a primary though. Usually the incumbent runs unopposed.

          There have definitely been previous attempts to change the primary schedule. Biden didn’t invent that or anything. This most recent rescheduling began with a letter from Biden. He didn’t invent the concept but Democrats are at least giving him credit for this version of the rescheduling. I personally doubt it’ll stick but I hope that it does. Iowa and new Hampshire shouldn’t have such an exaggerated influence in the primaries.
