The Iowa caucuses and their outsize importance were largely an exercise in myth-making, that candidates could earn a path to the White House by meeting voters in person, and civic-minded Midwesterners would literally stand for their candidate.

in the presidential nominating order and replace it with South Carolina starting in 2024, a dramatic shakeup championed by President Joe Biden to better reflect the party’s deeply diverse electorate.

Their stories offered a sheen of quaint civic responsibility, citizens meeting candidates, often several times, and a willingness to brave a bone-chilling winter night for them. “We knew this was a story. And we knew it was first, and that was fun,” said Bender. “But we didn’t realize when we did it that this was going to be huge. In a sense, it was an accident.”

In 1972, antiwar outsider Eugene McCarthy finished stronger than expected in the low-turnout affair, so lightly covered by the news media that the handful of national reporters present fit into a single office at state party headquarters in Des Moines. Sixteen years later, Iowa became the battleground over the Iraq War, the dominant issue roiling Democrats nationally.

this story is about breaking with tradition they want to strip us of our past.

It’s a power move , white’s we don’t need you !

right

The democrat party pissing all over Iowans will ensure our free state status for a generation. Thank you

ttrco The usual. Giving iowademocrats an out for utter failure. “Oh. Let’s marvel at how long they kept it going.” 🙄

Here’s the AP running propaganda cover again. Convenient story ahead of the Party’s big move.

If AP is for it, you know it's designed to help the DNC.

Let’s end the “accident “.

Just curious , when did the DNC direct you to release this tweet? And, did they write it out for you as well?

It literally doesn't matter anyways. They pick who they want in the end

When will the ap report on the criminal activity from the DNC and the old owners of Twitter?

The covid19 virus has killed tens of millions of people in the United States and all over the world! Why don't the presidential administration, the bipartisan Congress and the media investigate the origin of the virus?

I’m so glad the Democrats changed it from Iowa

Lol, the left has lost the middle of the country. Call it what it is.

Iowa as a path to the WH has been a myth for a while.

About time. We don't deserve it with our archaic caucus system.

I've always wondered about the place Iowa held in our elections...

Thank the heavens! Iowa needs to be taken down another peg.

Hope is the best product to sell. The 'sellers' (mainly the Lefties) r always the GOOD GUYS. Sellers don't need to deliver anything but promises. Even so buyers will be grateful. If bad things happens or someone try to claim for THAT 'product' they can easily put blame on others

🚨***RED ALERT***🚨 That news was written by a Left-Militant-journalist. Note that Main Media spread the LEFT's agenda coordenately around the world. THEY ARE ONE ONLY THING. elonmusk they are changing, inverting the facts and then manipulating our perception. ***BE CAREFUL***

SHOW THE HUNTER BIDEN CASE Twitter as..s..h.ol....e

Still not going to do a story on the Twitter files are ya. Not a good look.

Any Breaking News on the Intelligence Community, the democratic party and big Tech colluding with each other and violating millions of Americans First Amendment, so they could steal an election?

The correct decision and long overdue...Iowa has been a waste of time and resources for years.

That's correct it is a new day. Civic minded, hardworking, patriotic Midwestern's do not possess the qualities appreciated in the 21 century. The 13% of the population that are destroying our cities and trying to rewrite history to give themselves some relevance are significant

built on myth

Translation-blacks first, whites don’t count !

Main stream media has also lost its place at the head of the line.

Biden's Associated Press.

There was never a myth. It was political fear of upsetting Midwest farmers. This might be one decent accomplishment of Joe Biden in busting the Iowa monopoly in presidential primaries. Next, we need to rotate the top 5 states EVERY presidential year.

Oh look, running propaganda for president oatmeal brains and ignoring the bombshell of the rigged 2020 election. Journalists are cancer.
