President Biden will not officially appear on next year's primary ballot in New Hampshire.
The DNC, backed by President Biden, had chosen South Carolina to lead off the 2024 Democratic nominating calendar.
New Hampshire's Secretary of State, David Scanlan, has announced that the state's 2024 primary will be held on January 23, 2024. This decision comes amidst a controversy involving President Biden, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and state officials over the traditional early primary schedule. The DNC, with the backing of President Biden, had chosen South Carolina to lead off the 2024 Democratic nominating calendar, citing the need to ensure that voters of color have a voice earlier in the process. However, New Hampshire has decided to maintain its position as the 'first-in-the-nation' primary.
The state's primary system is 'open', allowing 'undeclared' voters to vote for either party's candidates. As of now, 21 Democrats and 24 Republicans have filed for the New Hampshire nomination. Notably, President Biden, who did not file to have his name appear on the ballot, will not officially appear on next year's primary ballot in New Hampshire.
The decision to hold the primary on January 23, 2024, defies the DNC's request to hold it after South Carolina. This move by New Hampshire could potentially lead to a shift in the traditional early primary schedule, and it remains to be seen how this will impact the 2024 presidential election.
