Democrats in a frenzy as Biden’s misstep may force him to concede first 2024 primary.

A Presidential Headache: Biden’s Mismanagement Could Cost Him the First Primary

Democrats Scrambling to Avoid Embarrassing Loss in New Hampshire

President Joe Biden’s mismanagement of relationships could cost him the first unofficial contest of the 2024 Democratic primary race. According to a damning report from Politico, Biden and his top officials altered the Democratic presidential nominating calendar, giving “first in the nation” status to South Carolina as a way to thank the state for helping save his then-sagging 2020 primary bid. However, this move could result in Biden losing New Hampshire by default because he might not show up on the primary ballot.

New Hampshire has state laws in place that mandate its primary contests take place a week before any other state. Republican Gov. Chris Sununu and GOP lawmakers in New Hampshire understandably are not too keen on changing those state laws to help out their Democratic counterparts. This leaves Democratic leadership frantically searching for some sort of salve or solution before a June deadline.

• Democrats are stalling and looking to buy more time to avoid having Biden not appear on the ballot.
• New Hampshire Democrats are unhappy about the upending of the state’s cherished “first in the nation” status and seem perfectly content to sit on their hands and let the process play out — whether or not Biden is on the ballot.

If Biden does not appear on the ballot, this could get his re-election campaign off to a bad start. Already a historically unpopular president who is primarily being blamed for the poor state of the economy, he can ill afford to give his Democratic challengers — Marianne Williamson and Robert Kennedy Jr. — an opportunity to present themselves as legitimate alternatives.

Democrats are now scrambling to avoid this embarrassing loss in New Hampshire. If there’s any opportunity for this to get resolved by New Hampshire having more time, all of us will say, “Give New Hampshire more time,” said Randi Weingarten, the widely derided teachers union leader and one of the Democratic National Committee members who voted to alter the calendar. James Roosevelt, Jr., co-chairman of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, added: “In states where state legislatures have refused to comply with the party rules, the state parties have run primaries that are conducted by the party.”

Democrats need to work in tandem with their New Hampshire counterparts to figure this out on Biden’s behalf. The clock is ticking, and they need to act fast to avoid a potential migraine for the president.
