This decision, if approved, will provide GOP White House hopefuls with more time to campaign in the first-in-the-South state.<\/p>\n<p>The state GOP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/south-carolina-gop-votes-to-censure-rep-rice-over-impeachment-vote\/\" title=\"South Carolina GOP Votes To Censure Rep. Rice Over Impeachment Vote\">executive committee<\/a> unanimously voted to approve the measure on Saturday, according to party executive director Hope Walker. However, the selection still requires approval from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rnc-accused-breaking-bud-light-elite-spring-retreat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republican National Committee<\/a> to become official. Walker stated that a formal submission will be sent before the October deadline.<\/p>\n<p>This move comes as both major parties work to solidify their voting calendars for the 2024 nominating process.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the RNC voted to maintain its voting order, with Iowa, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-hampshire-bar-owner-reports-20-drop-bud-light-sales-says-one-thing-blame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Hampshire<\/a>, South Carolina, and Nevada leading the way. By scheduling South Carolina&#8217;s vote on February 24, Walker explained that candidates would have more time after Nevada&#8217;s vote on February 6 to focus on the state. South Carolina&#8217;s support is crucial for Republicans vying for their party&#8217;s nomination.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This is a great opportunity for South Carolina Republicans and for our candidates and the voters in South Carolina to get to interact one on one, not just in large masses,&#8221; Walker said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Democrats are grappling with President Joe Biden&#8217;s plan to overhaul the party&#8217;s 2024 presidential primary schedule. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fing-job-varsity-blues-star-absolutely-dismantles-dnc-memorial-day-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democratic National Committee<\/a> rules panel has given New Hampshire until September 1 to comply with new rules that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-gop-sets-date-for-first-southern-2024-presidential-primary\/\" title=\"Southern 2024 Presidential Primary Date Set by State GOP\">state leaders strongly oppose<\/a>. However, no immediate extension has been offered to Georgia, another battleground state that has yet to set its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/florida-democrat-alleges-liberal-media-bias\/\" title=\"Florida Democrat Alleges Liberal Media Bias\">primary date<\/a> for next year.<\/p>\n<p>The main point of contention is Biden&#8217;s proposal to replace Iowa&#8217;s caucus with South Carolina as the first state to vote on February 3, 2024. New Hampshire has traditionally held the nation&#8217;s first primary after Iowa&#8217;s caucus. Under the new calendar, New Hampshire and Nevada would vote together on February 6, a change that New Hampshire officials have strongly criticized.<\/p>\n<p>Republican candidates must file with the South Carolina GOP by October 31 under the approved measure. The party&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/will-trump-skip-gop-debates-front-runner-torches-maga-hating-reporters-fiery-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first debate<\/a> is scheduled for August 23.<\/p>\n<p>The executive committee also set the candidate filing fees for the presidential primary at $50,000. Walker explained that this figure accounts for inflation increases since 2016 when the party charged candidates $40,000. State law requires parties to pay $20,000 per candidate to the South Carolina Election Commission, which oversees the state&#8217;s primaries.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, a study released by then-South Carolina GOP Chairman Matt Moore revealed that the 2012 primary had boosted the state&#8217;s economy by nearly $20 million. Campaigns and super PACs alone spent over $11 million on ads, in addition to other expenditures on staffing, supplies, hotel rooms, and food.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;South Carolina voters are an important part of this process, and it will also help not just with the process but with the economic boom it&#8217;ll bring to our state,&#8221; Walker emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During the meeting, South Carolina GOP members also approved the selection of former President Donald Trump as the speaker at the Silver Elephant Gala on August 5, the party&#8217;s signature fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>Drew McKissick, South Carolina&#8217;s GOP chairman, was recently re-elected to a fourth term in office. He also currently serves as the national co-chairman of the RNC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic\">The Western Journal has reviewed this Associated Press story and may have altered it prior to publication to ensure that it meets our editorial standards.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-state-gop-sets-date-first-southern-2024-presidential-primary\/\">State GOP Sets Date for First Southern 2024 Presidential Primary<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Carolina Republicans have scheduled their 2024 presidential primary for Feb. 24.
