Democratic Party's Controversial Handling of New Hampshire Primary

National Democrats are expected to vote on a proposal to give New Hampshire more time to comply with the party's demand to hold its presidential primary after South Carolina's contest in early February. This would be the third time the Democratic National Committee has extended the state's deadline. If New Hampshire fails to adhere to the calendar requirements, it risks losing half its delegates to the national party's nominating convention in 2024. However, an agreement has yet to be reached on when the primary will be held, as New Hampshire law requires it to be at least a week before any similar contest. If a solution is not found, President Joe Biden may not put his name on the primary ballot, potentially allowing fringe candidates to win.
