    Biden did that? No. That’s been in the works for years within the DNC. People haven’t wanted it held there since 1979 and there was a big push to make it first again in 2003 for the the following primary. This was voted on by committee and then full board of DNC.

      There have definitely been previous attempts to change the primary schedule. Biden didn’t invent that or anything. This most recent rescheduling began with a letter from Biden. He didn’t invent the concept but Democrats are at least giving him credit for this version of the rescheduling. I personally doubt it’ll stick but I hope that it does. Iowa and new Hampshire shouldn’t have such an exaggerated influence in the primaries.
