The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced Saturday that it has removed New York and Nebraska from consideration for early primaries in the 2024 presidential nomination process, multiple outlets reported, citing a letter sent by co-chairs of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee.
The DNC also said it has cut Democrats Abroad, the party’s official organization for American expatriates, from consideration, according to Politico and The Washington Post.
Sixteen states and Puerto Rico remain in the running for the earliest spots in a new primary order.
The letter said that New York’s application was cut because of concerns over “size, the cost of campaigning there, its profile as a ‘solid blue state,’ and concerns that it would be impossible to counterbalance the disproportionate number of urban voters it would introduce into the pre-window period,” according to Politico.
It added that Nebraska’s proposal to sidestep its GOP-led legislature and state-run nominating contest by holding a separate primary run by the party would “create confusion by rendering the state-run process meaningless despite Democrats being on the ballot,” per the outlet.
