"New Hampshire's Defiant Tradition: Thumbing Its Nose at President Biden"

New Hampshire Secretary of State Dave Scanlan is set to announce the date of the state's first-in-the-nation presidential primary, defying the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) push to upend the calendar. The state faces potential sanctions from the DNC, including the loss of half of its delegates to the national convention. President Biden has chosen to keep his name off the New Hampshire ballot, but Granite State Democrats have launched a write-in campaign to prevent an electoral embarrassment. New Hampshire's tradition of retail politics and its law mandating the first primary position have been cited as reasons to maintain its status.
