Iowa caucuses ousted from top spot

Republicans are slamming the Democratic Party for removing Iowa from its prized first-in-the-nation position on the presidential primary schedule, charging the Left with disremembering Midwesterners by doing so.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) described the decision to remove Iowa from the top spot and off the early voting calendar as unfortunate, adding that Republicans should not follow Democrats' example and instead instead maintain their primary schedule as is. On Friday, the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee approved a new early voting schedule that will substitute South Carolina for the state in 2024.
