Summary

This week, the Democratic National Committee approved a resolution that requires states to apply for early contest status, meaning that Iowa and New Hampshire are no longer guaranteed to be the first stops in candidates' presidential campaigns. This change will significantly alter the way the party selects a presidential nominee as it allows states to make the case for why they should be the first stop prior to Super Tuesday. FOX News Radio Political Analyst, Josh Kraushaar joins to discuss how this move could better represent the Democratic electorate, how the Republican party is responding to the change, and how the voting calendar could be altered as a result. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced just this week that the RNC unanimously voted to withdraw from the Commission on Presidential debate, stating the CPD "is biased and has refused to enact simple and commonsense reforms to help ensure fair debates." National Spokesperson for the RNC Paris Dennard explains to FOX News Radio's Eben Brown that the committee pulled out not just for the RNC or the future of the Republican party, but ultimately for the American people who deserve only fair and balanced presidential debates.
