Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin and DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee co-Chair Minyon Moore outlined the first steps regarding how the party would start considering the states that could go first in the party’s early presidential primary calendar in a meeting Tuesday.
“Let me say this for everybody to hear: The presidential calendar process starts today,” Martin told members of the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee.
“We will be holding a series of meetings this year. We’re planning for meetings throughout the fall and winter and through the spring to make sure that we have a rigorous, effective, fair calendar and process,” Martin continued. “We need this process to give us the strongest possible candidate — a candidate that’s battle-tested to win and ready to lead America forward.”
One of the most tangible steps would be taken next month, according to Moore. She said members of the Rules and Bylaws Committee would convene to “discuss and adopt a resolution formalizing a process for states to submit applications to move in the … early window in 2028.”
