National Committee\u2019s rule-making arm voted earlier this month to make South Carolina, not Iowa, the site of the first presidential nominating contest in 2024 after President Biden called on the party to cater to a more diverse electorate as Democrats have been losing black voters in recent years.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

communities for granted,\u201d wrote Adams, 62.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd as the leader of the largest city in the United States, with a Black population of about\u00a02 million people, I am thrilled that we

It must be the beginning of a new push that addresses the concerns of all people of color and working-class people, many of whom feel the party has misrepresented their beliefs.
