No, I don't think that Iowa or NH should be the first. Their population, economy, immigration and other factors do not resemble the country as a whole. The first in the nation should be a different state but not one that has no chance of voting for a Democrat. At least Iowa voted for Obama and Clinton, twice.

My preference and in the 90s many Secretary of States proposed, are rotating regional primaries. No chance of that, though.

I understood why Biden chose it, owed a gratitude to Clyburn and the the head of the DNC is there. But will this hold for 2028?
