NEW: DNC members are readying for a dispute over how to order the 2024 nomination calendar & handle a Pandora's box of issues that come w/ shaking up the recent '20 lineup of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada & South Carolina. by @adamwren @thisisinsider businessinsider.com/democrats-deba…
CHARLESTON, S.C.—Chatter about the 2024 presidential primary calendar dominated sidebar conversations at the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting this weekend, as Democratic officials contend with the possibility that President Joe Biden might not run for re-election.
"Yes, Biden has obviously made it clear that he is running again, but nobody really knows that for sure," a state party chair told Insider of the 79-year old first-term president. This person added: "I just think the DNC is going to prepare for all scenarios."
"If everything was like Obama 08 & 12, when it was very clear he was going to run for re-election, there was no drama at the DNC as far as the primary-caucus calendar, which states were going when," said the state party chair.
At the Charleston Marriott this weekend, DNC members previewed a future potential dispute over how to order the presidential nomination calendar when the party reconvenes in DC for its March meeting. That means opening up a Pandora's box of issues pitting state vs. state.
