New York<\/a> might hold its 2028 presidential primary contests on Super Tuesday, a key point during each presidential election cycle when scads of states simultaneously hold primaries on the same day.<\/p>\n

The Empire State’s Senate on Monday was poised to pass a bill on the matter, Politico Playbook<\/a> reported. The measure would place New York’s presidential primary contests on the first Tuesday in March, according to the text of the proposal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“By holding the presidential primary on Super Tuesday, New York can ensure voters have a meaningful voice while the nomination remains competitive, increasing the state’s influence in the process,” bill sponsor Sen. James Skoufis said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Many other state senators are pushing the proposal with Skoufis.<\/p>\n

“New York is highly representative of the country with\u00a0its blend of urban, suburban, and rural communities and\u00a0mirrors the nation’s racial demographics, all of which are important factors as the primary calendar takes shape,” he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This legislation promises New Yorkers a far greater role in choosing our national leaders in lieu of our current, limited participation as a fly-by-night ATM for candidates who visit donors in their Manhattan penthouses. New York is far too influential a\u00a0state for its presidential primary to be simply\u00a0ceremonial,” Skoufis added.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Super Tuesday was on March 5, but New York’s Republican and Democratic presidential primaries<\/a> weren’t held until April 2.<\/p>\n

The state, while already influential due to the number of delegates it offers candidates in party primaries, could have even more influence in 2028 primaries by participating in Super Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n
