From South Carolina’s The State:

When the Democratic National Committee decides its presidential nominating contest order, U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-Santee, said all he wants is for South Carolina to be in the early primary window.

Clyburn told reporters at his annual fish fry he’s not concerned about South Carolina being the lead off contest, after the Democratic Party kicked off its 2024 presidential nominating process with the Palmetto State.

“I never asked for anything more than keep us in the pre-primary window which covers a whole month before the primary starts,” Clyburn said. “So I think it’s important to the party for that to be the case. Whether it be one, two, three or four, I don’t care.”
