Before they name a 2028 nominee, Democrats will have to decide which state will weigh in first
DES MOINES, Iowa — Before they can name their next presidential nominee, Democrats will have to decide which state will weigh in first.
In 2022, President Joe Biden forced a shake-up of the 2024 election calendar, moving South Carolina's primary ahead of contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. Officials in those traditionally four early-voting states are now positioning themselves to get top billing nearly two years before the Democratic National Committee solidifies the order. Others may make a play, too.

Doug Ford returning to U.S. to fight Donald Trump's tariffs
Premier Doug Ford and his counterparts from the Atlantic provinces are headed stateside to promote trade with New England governors. Ford, who quietly met with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp last week at Queen's Park, has been stepping up the lobbying of U.S. leaders against President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. 'You can keep tariffing everything, but it's hurting the American people,' the premier told a Toronto business conference last Monday. That's a reference to the fact that U.S. companies importing products from Canada are already passing along their higher costs to consumers. Ford also noted Ontario alone does $500 billion in annual two-way trade with the U.S., and the province is the largest trading partner with 17 of America's 50 states. 'I've had an opportunity to speak to many governors and senators and congresspeople — Republicans or Democrats … (and) every single person I speak to says we can't pick a fight with everyone in the world — and especially you can't pick a fight with your number-one customer,' he said. 'We need to move on.' Along with another wave of appearances on American cable news shows to underscore the importance of trade with Canada, the premier is moving to further strengthen ties with state governors. To that end, Ford, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston, New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier John Hogan and Prince Edward Island Premier Rob Lantz will be in Boston on Monday. The premiers will be meeting with Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, Maine Gov. Janet Mills, Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont. During last winter's provincial election campaign, which the governing Progressive Conservatives successfully framed as a referendum on which party could best deal with Trump, Ford twice visited Washington, D.C., to lobby U.S. lawmakers.

Nancy Mace blasts Tim Walz after he fails to define what a woman is
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is getting roasted for his response Thursday to South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace's question during a House Oversight Committee hearing where several of the country's governors testified. "What is a woman?" Mace asked Walz after several minutes of the two officials going back and forth over various topics. Mace peppered Walz with questions about comparing immigration officials to the Gestapo, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, his time in China in the late 1980s, his time in the military, school shooters and other topics. Walz paused to gather himself before responding. Gop Leadership Unleashes Fury On Dem Governor Ahead Of Blockbuster Congressional Hearing "I'm not sure I understand the question here," Walz told Mace. "What do you want me to say?" Mace then ripped into Walz. Read On The Fox News App "I want you to say that a woman like me is an adult human female. That men can't become women," Mace shot back. "You guys are the party of violence, and you're the party erasing women. You don't respect us. You're a bigot. You're a misogynist. You're a sexist. Mr. Chairman, I yield back." Walz Ripped For 'Sickening' Use Of Nazi-era Language Describing Trump's Immigration Policy: 'Anti-american' Walz attempted to respond, but the Republican chairman of the committee moved on to the next questioner as Walz laughed off the question. "Tampon Tim Walz couldn't define a woman today in GOP Oversight when I had him in the pressure cooker," Mace said on social media with a video of the exchange. "He was speechless. "Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who just allowed a boy to win a girl's state title in his state and was supposed to win male voters for Kamala, is asked by Nancy Mace what a woman is, he says he doesn't understand the question," Clay Travis, commentator and founder of Outkick, said on X. "Governor Walz has failed Minnesota. During yesterday's testimony, he refused to take accountability, wouldn't apologize for calling law enforcement agents the "gestapo," and couldn't even tell us what a woman was," Kendall Qualls, a Republican running against Walz for governor, added on article source: Nancy Mace blasts Tim Walz after he fails to define what a woman is
