WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden won’t file to have his name appear on the 2024 New Hampshire Democratic primary ballot. He is opting to skip a contest that the state plans to hold in defiance of a revamped primary order that the White House has championed. Julie Chavez Rodriguez, manager of Biden’s reelection campaign, wrote in a letter to New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Raymond Buckley on Tuesday that “the president wishes to participate in the primary” but must comply with party rules. Biden urged the Democratic National Committee to shake up the 2024 primary order and lead off with South Carolina to better empower Black voters crucial to the party’s base.
