Democrats Push Nationwide Presidential Primaries Plank
A group of Democratic lawmakers urge a party plank for nationwide presidential primaries, directing the attorney general to organize preferential primaries with federal support. The move seeks to curb backroom deals and could be enacted without a constitutional amendment, though one senator favors a constitutional change for direct primaries. The proposal cites Republican convention tensions as impetus.
