Democratic National Committee Will Consider Florida Exemption

On August 25, the Democratic National Committee will consider whether to grant an exemption to the Florida Democratic Party, to let it keep its full slate of delegates even if the Florida presidential primary is held on January 29.

The Florida Republican Party is also at risk of losing half of its delegation to the national Republican Party. The Florida Republican Party meets in Orlando August 11-12 to finalize its delegate plan. On August 6, Florida Republican state chair Jim Greer said “I will fight tooth and nail to make sure Florida gets its full slate of delegates. I intend to take our full slate of delegates to the convention, and I will let the Republican National Committee tell them they can’t be seated.”

The nation’s presidential primary system is still unsettled, with bills pending in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania to alter presidential primary procedures or dates.
