Five states that could take Iowa's spot on the early primary calendar

(Snip)

Michigan

Michigan’s status as a top general election battleground could work to its advantage, some Democrats say.

It would also satisfy the preference among some in the party for a midwestern replacement to Iowa, while adding racial, geographic and socioeconomic diversity.

“If we dump somebody, we have to make sure that region is represented,” said one Democrat familiar with the DNC’s early state process, speaking on the condition of anonymity to freely discuss ongoing talks.

New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina are expected to remain the same.

Which state should go first?
