Over 50 percent of New Hampshire voters backed the commander-in-chief over the 21 Democratic candidates that appeared on the primary ballot.
This is the first time a White House incumbent has not appeared on the primary ballot of their party in New Hampshire.
Former president Donald Trump has been declared the winner of the New Hampshire primary, winning against former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
Democrats changed their primary scheduled for 2024, stripping New Hampshire of their roughly two dozen delegates after branding the primary there pointless due to its track record of not picking the eventual nominee.
In its history, New Hampshire has only once correctly picked the eventual nominee, John Kerry, in 2004.
Democrats chose South Carolina as their first primary state because there are more Black voters than in mostly-White Iowa or New Hampshire.
The Granite State was supposed to go second alongside Nevada, then Michigan.
Biden’s team sided with the Democratic party over New Hampshire and decided long ago not to compete there.
“While the president wishes to participate in the Primary, he is obligated as a Democratic candidate for president to comply [with party rules],” Biden’s campaign manager told New Hampshire Democrats.
However, Biden’s far-fetched challengers, Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson, decided to compete, forcing New Hampshire Democratic Party leaders to organize a campaign in the state.
The leaders organized a campaign to educate voters on how to write in Biden’s name under the other candidates’ names on the ballot.
Biden’s allies’ main goal was to avoid the potential of an embarrassing defeat to Phillips or Williamson.
Biden was campaigning in Virginia today, where he was interrupted by at least a dozen Gaza protestors while promoting his pro-choice initiative, “Restore Roe.”
In between Biden’s remarks on abortion, protestors shouted, “Ceasefire now,” “Genocide Joe,” and other insults over his support for Israel and its assault on Gaza.
