DNC Votes to Officially Select Early States for 2028 Democratic Presidential Nominating Calendar
Today, at the DNC’s summer meeting in Austin, Texas, the full DNC voted to officially approve the proposed slate of six early states to lead the 2028 presidential nominating calendar, as well as the accompanying rules package. Nevada was chosen second in the nominating calendar, following first place South Carolina. NVDEMS Chair Daniele Monroe Moreno declared, “This new calendar best represents who we are as a party and I am excited to showcase our state as Democrats’ first true test in the upcoming presidential nominating process.” (link) Nevada is a majority-minority state representing Latino (31.2%), Black (11.3%), AANHPI (10.60%), Native American (2.70%), and white working-class voters. As the most labor-dense state in the calendar, we are also union strong, where organized labor represents 13% of our workforce. We’re also a consistently competitive swing state where elections are decided by the slimmest margin.
