The Democrats’ attack on New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary — political payback for President Joe Biden’s humiliating loss there — has sparked a high-stakes confrontation that jeopardizes the party’s hold on the Granite State.
The DNC led by Biden is essentially blackmailing New Hampshire to scuttle its law mandating the state to be the first primary or be bumped down in the order of states holding contests.
But the Granite State – whose primary has lost clout over the years – is refusing to give in to the DNC ultimatum, threatening to hold an unsanctioned first primary. New Hampshire has until Feb. 1, 2023, to repeal its first-in-the-nation law but that’s never going to happen.
