Michigan should learn by the end of the weekend whether it will vote earlier in the presidential primaries.
The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws committee is set to vote on an overhaul of the nominating contest calendar ahead of the 2024 election.Why it matters:
Early primary states have more sway in picking presidential nominees and typically see an infusion of cash, candidate visits and a higher national political profile.Michigan remains a purple state, even with the recent flip of the Legislature, something party leadership sees as an advantage. "I think it's important that be recognized as part of the early states," Michigan Democratic Party chair Lavora Barnes tells Axios.
"You need to convince voters why they should support you and your policies. And Michigan is a great place for any nationwide candidate to start, whose voters are going to take you to task and ask the tough questions and expect answers and expect you to understand their issues."
