The Democratic National Committee has signed off on a big change to their presidential nominating process. South Carolina will move to the front of the line, pushing out Iowa and New Hampshire as the first states to welcome candidates. DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee member Leah Daughtry has specifically advocated for this shift in tradition, prioritizing “what the party says it wants in its process” over New Hampshire’s inaugural primary. Others have argued that New Hampshire’s population does not adequately represent American voters. Newly elected Secretary of State of New Hampshire David Scanlan shares his thoughts on the value and importance of New Hampshire’s traditional primary and details the provisions to ensure the process in the upcoming presidential contests.
In the wake of the release of the Congressional Budget Office report, tensions are high on Capitol Hill. Republicans and Democrats alike have been vocal about fiscal policy, eager to point fingers about the state of the country’s economy. President of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget Maya MacGuineas shares her analysis on the national debt, inflation, and how these factors impact American consumers.
