President Joe Biden was warned by New Hampshire Democrats not to replace the state as the first presidential primary, arguing that a recently proposed primary lineup would cause problems in the state.

A letter issued to Biden on Tuesday signed by 20 Democrats warned that Biden could see his reelection chances drop if New Hampshire is dropped. Several weeks ago, the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee voted for a different early voting lineup for 2024, removing New Hampshire from its first-in-the-United States slot.
