Biden won’t appear on the New Hampshire ballot

Does this mean Dems are actually going to concede NH’s 4 electoral votes that typically go to the Dem nominee to Trump? If so, this seems pretty huge.

While Donald Trump and Nikki Haley might draw focus, a shadow presidential primary is taking place in New Hampshire, where Joe Biden could stumble at the first hurdle of his bid to run for president again in 2024 following an internal Democratic party feud.
As a consequence of the party scrap, Biden’s name will not even appear on the ballot in the Granite state on Tuesday. While the president remains the favorite to win his party’s overall nomination, his absence here has opened a window for Dean Phillips, a Democratic congressman from Minnesota, and Marianne Williamson, an author and self-help guru who ran for president in 2020, to mount longshot presidential bids.
quote:
New Hampshire polling shows Biden with a commanding lead over Phillips, and an even more commanding lead over Williamson. But given Biden’s name isn’t on the ballot, there’s a possibility Phillips could win.
The unusual situation stems from the Democratic national committee’s decision to ditch decades of tradition this year in choosing South Carolina, a much more racially diverse state, to host the first presidential primary. When New Hampshire said it would host its primary first anyway – South Carolina will vote next week – the Democratic National Committee essentially said it would ignore the state’s results.
quote:
“New Hampshire historically has not been about delegates, because we have relatively few to offer in the big scheme of things,” Scala said. “It’s about the publicity that comes with a victory or even a better-than-expected performance in an early voting state in the nomination process, and I think they’ve been following that playbook.”

It’s a primary, not the general.

That seems to be for the primary.

This is for the primary not the general versus Trump.

Someone doesn’t know the difference in the primary and the general election.

All because the Democrats want to jack around with the primary schedule to get a more "diverse" result.

Right, but would NH be sending on an unknown Dem presidential candidate against Trump? If so, wouldn’t this be a de facto victory for Trump?

Come the general, whoever the D is will be on the ballot in NH regardless of what NH does on the primary.

This would be no different than if Trump were to somehow lose the NH primary to Haley, but then wins the rest of the states and wins the GOP nomination. He will be on the NH ballot as the GOP nominee, winning an individual state doesn't mean much.
