By Jason Taylor Jun 1, 2021 IOWA - Another state is looking to replace Iowa to have the nation's first presidential primary contest. The Nevada state Senate passed a bill on Monday calling for it to hold the first primary in the 2024 election. The Iowa Democratic caucus was heavily criticized in 2020 after lengthy delays in reporting results. Democrats in Nevada also say the state has a more diverse population than heavily white Iowa and would better represent the country. The bill passed by the Nevada state Senate had been approved by the state House five days earlier and now heads to Nevada's Democratic governor.
