A group of Democrats want the party to make changes that could lead to a new presidential primary calendar and the elimination of caucuses after the messy Iowa caucus earlier this year.
They’re proposing the creation of a “Build the Party” commission that would study what went wrong in Iowa and elsewhere in the 2020 primaries. The panel would likely examine the early nominating calendar, potentially pushing Iowa and New Hampshire out of their first-in-the-nation spots. It would ultimately propose new rules to avert this year’s problems and make the primaries more inclusive.
