Title: New Hampshire Democrats Organize Write-In Efforts as President Biden Opts Out of 2024 Primary
President Biden’s absence from the 2024 New Hampshire primary election has left many New Hampshire Democrats disappointed. However, determined to support their Democratic incumbent, local party members are organizing write-in efforts to encourage voters to cast their ballots.
The decision by President Biden not to file for the New Hampshire primary came as a surprise, leading to disappointment among his supporters. The news broke after the Biden campaign informed New Hampshire Democrats that the president would not be running in their state’s primary, leaving them without a clear candidate to rally behind.
Adding to the frustration, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) recently approved a 2024 early nominating schedule that violated state law. The schedule moved New Hampshire’s primary to vote concurrently with Nevada, compromising the state’s longstanding position as the first primary state. While New Hampshire Democrats express anger over this decision, they remain committed to supporting President Biden’s re-election bid.
In response, a group of experienced individuals, including those who have previously worked on presidential and senatorial campaigns, has taken the initiative to organize the write-in efforts. Recognizing that this will be a challenging task, the organizers are diligently working on the logistics of writing in a candidate while ensuring compliance with election laws.
The write-in efforts have already garnered considerable interest, with over 200 delegates signing up to participate. Despite their disappointment, New Hampshire Democrats are demonstrating their willingness to write in President Biden’s name as a show of support. However, it is important to note that the write-in efforts are being organized without the support of the national or state Democratic parties.
While the deadline to file for the New Hampshire primary has passed, two longshot candidates, Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips, will still appear on the ballot. However, with the write-in efforts gaining momentum, it remains to be seen how their candidacies will fare against the groundswell of support for President Biden.
As the write-in efforts continue to unfold, New Hampshire Democrats remain determined to show their unwavering support for President Biden, even without his official presence on the primary ballot.
