New Hampshire
Opinion | Biden Took New Hampshire for ‘Granite’
Joe Biden is running as if he were unopposed for the Democratic presidential nomination, but he may face a comeuppance in New Hampshire. In the name of “diversity,” the Democratic National Committee demoted the Granite State from its traditional status as the first-in-the-nation primary in favor of South Carolina, where Mr. Biden’s 2020 campaign took flight.
New Hampshire decided to hold its primary on Jan. 23 anyway, much to the DNC’s chagrin. The state won’t allocate any convention delegates, and the DNC insists that makes the primary “meaningless.” But it could prove an early measure of the incumbent’s weakness. Mr. Biden decided not to put his name on the ballot, forcing allies to run a write-in campaign against Rep. Dean Phillips and self-help author Marianne Williamson.
