WASHINGTON – The Democratic National Committee (DNC) rules committee has designated South Carolina to hold the first primary in the 2028 Democratic presidential nominating process. This decision alters the sequence of states initiating the party's primary calendar.
NBC National Political Reporter Ben Kamisar reported on the committee's action. The DNC previously had two other states open its presidential primary calendar. The committee's change replaces those two states with states that feature different demographic compositions.
South Carolina will now lead the early voting schedule for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.
