“The first-in-the-nation primary is in more danger than it’s been in at least 20 years,” The New Hampshire Journal’s Michael Graham said.
Graham believes that's not because of the politics of the state but because of the demographics, he said. “The Democratic Party is very focused at the policy level and at the political level on equity, social justice, questions about race, etc.”
For the second presidential election in a row, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont won the Democratic primary in the neighboring state of New Hampshire.
And there’s the state’s relationship with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Both spent little time campaigning here, with Biden leaving the state before his fifth-place primary finish.
