    excerpt:

    President Biden is almost certain to be Democrats' pick for president in 2024, but he might not win the first two contests of the primary season if they're in the traditional first-to-vote states of Iowa and New Hampshire — a scenario that seems increasingly likely.

    Driving the news: Biden's team is indicating he won't be on the ballots in those states if they vote before South Carolina, his choice to have the first primary.

    Why it matters: Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire could defy Biden and move ahead with their contests — even as the party warns it will strip them of their national convention delegates if they jump the gun.
    • That sets up a scenario in which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or another long-shot Democrat could win those states — and embarrass the president.

    Biden won't be on the ballot. The dnc is moving the primary calender from Iowa and NH to South Carolina and Michigan. It better reflects the democratic electorate. Why in the hell should white folks in Iowa decide who dems choose first every time? I'm happy dems changed it
