California's primaries are currently held in June; however, legislation is expected to be signed by Governor Jerry Brown (D) next week that would move them to March.
This move would place California's primaries right after Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. Further, the move would tilt the donor and electoral tables heavily in Senator Kamala Harris' (D-CA) favor.
Politico reports:
California is pushing forward with a plan to change the state’s primary date from June to March, a move that could scramble the 2020 presidential nominating contest and swing the early weight of the campaign to the west.
