4. I'm sure New Hampshire is so "friendly" to Biden in the first place.

I mean, in 2020, he took 5th place in that primary. He got what, around 8% of the vote then?

Of the four people that "beat" him vote-wise back in 2020...

One has already endorsed him (Bernie Sanders)

One is working in his cabinet (Pete Buttigieg)

One has all but publicly endorsed him, making public statements about how great he is (Elizabeth Warren)





Ms. Klobuchar has expressed public support for Biden after his UN Speech and his named continued Ukraine support.


It is extremely doubtful any of them would be willing to go against Joe in the primary.


So, if Biden's name is left off... what does that leave Democratic voters in the state with, and how telling will it be when Biden is the de-facto nominee later?

I wouldn't be surprised if Biden gets more write-in votes than any "named" Democratic candidate on the primary ballot. New Hampshire will only end up making itself 'worthless' as a predictor, by going this route.
