Democratic plans to sidestep Iowa are complicated by the need for GOP agreement to move Michigan or Minnesota to the front of the line.
The dynamic adds an awkward wrinkle to meetings of the Democratic Rules and Bylaws Committee scheduled to begin Wednesday in Washington, with pitches by 16 states and Puerto Rico to become one of the starting sites of the 2024 presidential primary election.
“While I am confident Michigan will have a strong voice when it comes to selecting our next presidential nominee, I’m laser-focused on ensuring our party has the resources at its disposal to elect Republicans up and down the ballot,” Ron Weiser, the chairman of the Michigan GOP said in a statement Monday. “There’s too much at stake to be focused on anything but the upcoming midterm elections.
That has not stopped Michigan and Minnesota Democrats from expressing optimism that they will be able to eventually bring their Republican counterparts around. Both states have launched extensive campaigns to woo national Democrats this week, with Michigan releasing aand Minnesota planning to send Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan , a member of a Native American tribe, to make the state’s pitch.
Anuzis has argued that one solution would be for Republicans in the legislature to vote to allow Democrats to hold an earlier primary, while keeping the Republican nominating vote at a later date to avoid sanction.
