Podcast: Moving Pennsylvania’s Presidential Primary Earlier in 2024
Last week, the state Senate unanimously passed a bill that would move the commonwealth’s primary earlier in 2024 in order to give Pennsylvanians a greater say in who the Democratic and Republican nominees are.
In the latest episode of the PoliticsPA Podcast, Republican Senator John Gordner, prime sponsor of the bill, and Democratic Senator Sharif Street, a co-sponsor, talk about the legislation and the politics of Presidential primaries. The duo discuss Pennsylvania’s history of being a non-factor in the nomination process, the challenges of moving the date, whether the bill can pass in the House, as well as some of the other benefits of moving the primary to March in 2024.
