Well, it’s no Calexit, but this ought to be interesting.

The Lost Angeles Times reports that California Governor Jerry Brown has signed legislation officially moving the state’s presidential primary elections from June up to March, which means California’s next presidential primary election will take place on March 3, 2020.

Democrats who embraced the push for an early primary said they were motivated in part by the election of President Trump, whose successful bid for the Republican Party nomination was well on its way to reality by the time California voters cast ballots on June 7, 2016. “We have a greater responsibility and a greater role to promote a different sort of agenda at the national level,” said state Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens), the author of the bill. “We need to have a greater influence at the national level.” The new law also moves California’s congressional and legislative primaries, a change which some suggested could make it difficult for challengers to raise money and put together a campaign plan months earlier than in the past.

The change means that California primaries will be held early in the process — just after Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. In 2016, by contrast, its Democrat and Republican primaries (held on the same day) took place near the end of the process, at which point the nominees were close to a foregone conclusion.

What do you think of this development? Will it change the outcome of future elections? Will one party be helped or hurt more than the other? Would you rather see California remove its electoral votes from the union entirely? Share your thoughts below!
