In a dispute over the Democratic Party's decision to make South Carolina the first official primary instead of New Hampshire, the Granite State's unsanctioned Democratic primary is set to take place tomorrow. However, President Biden will not appear on the ballot, leading to a write-in campaign to gauge his strength in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary holds great significance for the state, which values citizen-led and citizen-driven democracy. The decision by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to overlook New Hampshire as the first primary state has been met with criticism from Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan, who believes it was a 'terrible decision.' She emphasized the state's commitment to its democratic processes, including a state law that solidifies the first primary status.
