Iowa Dems Aiming for 2028 Early Primary, Hint at Rogue Caucus If Denied

Iowa Democrats are pressing to regain an early 2028 presidential primary slot, arguing the state was sidelined too long and that caucuses boost rural voices; some figures even warned of an unsanctioned rogue caucus if the DNC doesn’t seat their delegates. The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee will hear pitches in DC this week with a summer decision anticipated, all amid leadership tensions at the DNC and ongoing visits from potential 2028 candidates as the party weighs calendar, diversity, and feasibility.
