The 2024 election was the first in almost two decades that saw major change to the top of the Democratic primary calendar, booting Iowa — the longtime first-in-the-nation caucus — and sliding South Carolina’s primary to the fore, challenging New Hampshire’s traditional leading role. 
The moves came amid discontent with Iowa Democrats’ messy 2020 caucuses and recognition of the role Black voters play in the Democratic Party — and with heavy influence over the party from then-President Joe Biden, whose South Carolina primary win in 2020 set him on the path to the White House.
