The Iowa Caucuses' Changing Dynamics
The 2024 Democratic primary calendar has been changed, giving South Carolina the first spot instead of Iowa. However, on the Republican side, Iowa remains the first nominating contest. Donald Trump, running as an incumbent, currently leads the polls by an average of 30 points. While other candidates have had moments of success, they have struggled to make significant gains on Trump. The tradition of retail politics and the unique rules of the Iowa caucuses seem to be losing their impact in this election.
