"Biden's Blunders and Challenges in the 2024 Presidential Race"

Democratic Congressman Dean Phillips has entered the New Hampshire presidential primary as a write-in candidate, challenging President Joe Biden's attempt to marginalize the state. Phillips, who paid the $1,000 filing fee, criticized Biden's age and economic record while vowing to prioritize New Hampshire voters. Biden's decision to reorder the party's nominating calendar and elevate South Carolina as the leadoff state has drawn criticism from longtime Democratic power players in New Hampshire. The presence of Phillips in the race presents a dilemma for Biden, who risks losing the primary if he urges well-connected New Hampshire Democrats to stand down.
