While states set the dates themselves they generally only do so with consent of the parties. In the past the Democratic Party has supported Iowa in going first. After yesterday’s fiasco that stance will likely change.

People have been talking about it for a while. Iowa is really really white [0] so people have been saying for a long time that maybe the first state (or group of states) should be more representative of the country as a whole.

[0] 90.7% white to be precise where the rest of the US is 76.5% https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/IA https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/US
