Have we seen the last of the months-long prostration of Democratic presidential candidates leading up to the Iowa Caucuses every four years? Some Democratic Party power brokers are putting that long-held wish of some into action.

Washington Post:

President Biden is not a big fan. Former Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez is openly opposed. And elsewhere in the Democratic inner sanctum, disdain for Iowa’s first-in-the-nation presidential caucus has been rising for years.

Now the day of reckoning for Iowa Democrats is fast approaching, as the national party starts to create a new calendar for the 2024 presidential nomination that could remove Iowa from its privileged position for the first time since 1972
