Democrat Dean Phillips is making a push to challenge President Biden in the upcoming New Hampshire primary, reaching out to both Republicans and Democrats in the state. The primary is scheduled for next Tuesday, and Phillips is eager to make a mark on the race. However, President Biden does not seem to be concerned. He has no plans to visit New Hampshire and is actually heading to North Carolina today to discuss his economic plans.
Despite not being on the ballot in New Hampshire, President Biden is polling far ahead of Phillips and other challengers. Almost 70% of Democratic voters plan to write Biden's name in, according to the latest poll. This is because the Democratic National Committee, at Biden's request, changed the rules to prioritize South Carolina and its primary. Biden's popularity remains strong, and he is confident in his campaign.
