President Joe Biden does not appear on the 2024 New Hampshire Presidential Primary ballot. As you drive the backroads of New Hampshire, you see yard signs urging Democrats to write in Joe Biden on Tuesday’s ballot. This effort seems like a futile move to push the President to a victory in a state that he has abandoned, dissed, belittled, and showed disregard for the Constitution of the country and New Hampshire. Biden is not on the ballot for many reasons, but none are valid.

You need to review history for Biden’s primary reason. In 2020, Biden had horrific showings in the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire Primary. His third attempt at the White House was dead until Representative Jim Clyburn (D-SC) came to his friend’s rescue. With South Carolina next on the Primary schedule, Clyburn pulled out all the stops to manufacture a win for Biden, who then rolled over the Democrat field to win the nomination. Jim Clyburn and South Carolina were the kingmakers in 2020.

Biden had the DNC move South Carolina ahead of New Hampshire in the 2024 schedule to reward Clyburn and South Carolina, stripping the First in the Nation label from the Granite State. The problem is that NH stipulates in its state Constitution that it must be the first primary election, regardless of any other state’s actions. NH responded to the DNC and scheduled the NH Primary a week before the SC election. This move caused Biden to get vindictive. He first refused to file paperwork to be on the NH ballot, and then he had the DNC designate there would be no delegates from NH at the Democrat Convention. Spiteful Biden made NH irrelevant in choosing the Democrat candidate for President for the 2024 election. With Biden’s actions, why should anyone waste a write-in vote for this man?

The polls show Biden with a significant lead in New Hampshire, but that is because he has derailed the primary process. He would not acknowledge any of his Democrat challengers, Kennedy or Williamson, by debating them and, on several occasions, denied requests from Kennedy for security assistance. Biden is working hard to stay out of the public eye for the entire election cycle. He does not want anyone to see the aging man in charge or hear his disjointed message. His only chance of winning reelection is to stay in his basement, as he did in 2020.

While Biden hides from Americans, he has two primary surrogates who will campaign for him and a willing media to assist him in any way possible. The First Lady, Jill Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris have begun hitting the media trail. Jill Biden did a softball session with Mika Brzezinski of Morning Joe on MSNBC. This poor showing was a rehearsed session that should have been paid for by the Biden Campaign. Kamala visited the set of The View for a love fest. There was not a single hard-hitting question in either, and that is what we can expect for 2024.

The results from New Hampshire will not be surprising, but the effects of what Biden did to the state needs to be reported. Let’s see how the networks tell the story on Tuesday night.
