"New Hampshire Primary: 24 Republicans, 21 Democrats, and No Biden"

The filing period for New Hampshire's presidential primary has ended, with 24 Republicans and 21 Democrats making it onto the ballot. Former Vice President Mike Pence was the only candidate to have his own studio lights shining on him during the signing up process, while President Joe Biden chose not to sign up due to changes being made by the Democratic National Committee. The Democratic ballot will include U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips and self-help author Marianne Williamson, while the Republican ballot will feature former President Donald Trump and six other candidates who qualified for the most recent debate. New Hampshire will defy a new Democratic calendar in 2024 to maintain its status as the first presidential primary state.
