LANSING, Mich. — The Democratic National Committee is pressuring Michigan and Florida to hold presidential caucuses so the delegates they lost for holding January primaries could be seated at the national convention, a top Michigan Democrat said Wednesday.
DNC member Debbie Dingell of Michigan said it’s unclear whether either state would hold caucuses because they’ve already held primaries — Michigan on Jan. 15 and Florida on Jan. 29. She said the DNC is asking the states to consider such a plan.
Florida Democratic Party spokesman Mark Bubriski said the party has no intention of holding another election.
“We’ve said all along that we’re going forward with our delegate-selection program using the vote on Jan. 29,” he said.
DNC spokesman Damien LaVera had no comment.
