New Hampshire Defies Democrats, Sets Early 2024 Primary Date

New Hampshire has defied the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and set the date for its first-in-the-nation presidential primary on January 23, 2024, despite potential sanctions from the DNC. The state's move to uphold tradition and disregard the DNC's proposed calendar could result in the loss of half of New Hampshire's delegates to the national convention. President Biden has chosen to keep his name off the New Hampshire ballot, but Granite State Democrats have launched a write-in campaign. Republican Governor Chris Sununu criticized the DNC's attempt to undermine New Hampshire's primary status and predicted that the move would hurt President Biden's chances in the 2024 election.
