and they are white states. and democrats have always relied on african american votes. part of the reason they have done this is south carolina has a large black voting population. georgia is a state with a large black voting top hpopulation. it does mean we will see more diversity in the lineup. in georgia it continues this possibility that georgiaeorgia s more and more blue. it's kind of purple. if democrats hold their primary really early in 2024, it's going to encourage more people to look at the democratic slate. >> fascinating. always filled with insight. that's why we love to call upon you. bill nygate, good to see you. all right. let's bring in arlette saenz from the white house perspective. why does president biden want to change the calendar? >> reporter: it comes as he wants to have more diversity in the early nominating process. this is something that he off pointed to when he was a candidate saying that diverse voices needed to be heard as democrats were electing their nominees. iowa, he has argued, the dem drastics are representative of much of the country

white house. this is a later first state dinner due to covid. however, no less important to the white house given the state of the relationship between the two leaders. there's no question when you talk to white house officials they point to france's role inside the eu and inside a critically important trans atlantic relationship. also the relationship between the two men. several meetings on the sidelines of big summits, multiple phone calls between the two in regular contact over the course of the last several months. there are foreign policy issues to deal with. there's no question about that. there are also very real domestic issues president macron is going to bring to president biden. it's one of the domestic pieces of legislation. it serves as protection elements and that will be brought up and likely a point of contention. what won't be is a reliance on the relationship with each other and china and an animating feature of president biden's position. what matters is the pomp and circumstance. when you talk to white house officials, they t

look at the party demographics the primary caucus demographics what we had before were two very white statesn new hampshire and iowa going first and second, you know about 90-plus white and the democratic candidate electorate is not anywhere near that much white and you're essentially replacing wit south carolina going first. you can see black, latino, 58%. white voters made up just 40% of the primary vote around in 2020. nevada which will go second, tied with new hampshire, they have a very significant latino population. so this is a move among democrats to get the primary electorate in the early states to look a lot more like the party as a whole and of course new hampshire doesn't fesly like that but the democrats seem to like it a lot. >> right, and so there's that aspect, more diversity, but the results of the 2020 primaries are also playing a role here, right. >> absolutely, i mean, look, joe biden is the leader of the democratic party, and he's signed off on these changes he's trying to reward those folks who backed him in the primaries. south carolina was the saving grace for joe bid

because iowa is what launched barack obama, this white state.and a time when black voters were really aligned with hillary clinton and were very skeptical, not because they didn't support barack obama because they thought white people would vote for about barack obama. iowans voted for him and then he was on his way, and so i do think it's important to have a more diverse representation in the first votes. but it is kind of interesting how it has worked out. of course south carolina is also, joe biden, where would his candidacy be? it's like, it's interesting. it didn't help kamala harris. it didn't help cory booker. it's an interesting kind of conundrum. >> i tell, you this gonna be a lot of proposed candidates that are just learning the south carolina state fair ahead of iowa, if that's the case. look, everyone, it's a final election night of a surprising mid term season. so join cnn for the georgia runoff between senator raphael warnock and herschel walker. coverage starts tuesday at 4 pm eastern. joe biden is also holding his four state dinn
