(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa Democrats want their party caucus to have an early influence on the nation’s presidential primaries in 2028. The state’s Democratic Party has released results of a recent survey among party members that shows 65 percent of respondents want their 2028 caucus to be the first in the country or very early in the year, before Super Tuesday. The DNC removed the Iowa caucus from the early nominating period in 2024 following widespread issues with the 2020 caucus. The Iowa Republican caucus in 2028 is expected to remain the first result in the party’s presidential nomination process, as it was in 2024.
