Biden came close to being run out of the race before a state with a substantial number of Black voters even had a chance to vote. States like IA and NH should not be setting the narrative for who is a viable Dem candidate for POTUS each cycle. Not to mention that IA uses a caucus system which always seem to end up being a clusterf*ck. The Dem party should move all caucus states to the end of the primary schedule.
