President Biden\u2019s 2024 Democrat primary challenger is going after him for his opposition to New Hampshire\u2019s first-in-the-nation status.<\/p>\n

Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., released a new campaign ad that targets Biden for supporting a bid to hold the Democrats\u2019 first primary election in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

\u2018For over a century, New Hampshire has held the first-in-the-nation primary, and Granite Staters have faithfully carried out that grave responsibility, propelling the candidacies of some and ending the candidacies of others,\u2019 a voiceover says in the one-minute video. \u2018Now, Joe Biden has ordered New Hampshire to step aside.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Congressman Dean Phillips is meeting with New Hampshire voters in diners, on street corners and at taverns, the way it\u2019s always been done.\u2019<\/p>\n

New Hampshire officials announced last month that they would not heed the Democratic National Committee\u2019s (DNC) request to cede its first-state privilege to South Carolina.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s reelection campaign also has not filed to be on the New Hampshire ballot, which could further complicate things for him there.<\/p>\n

\u2018In today\u2019s society, it seems that we\u2019re quick to eliminate traditions and ignore them,\u2019 New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan said at press conference in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

South Carolina had set its primary for Feb. 3 after the DNC approved a proposal for it to hold the first 2024 Democrat race. But New Hampshire set its primary for Jan. 23, with officials citing state law mandating that the Granite State be first.<\/p>\n

Biden wrote to the DNC\u2019s Rules and Bylaws Committee last year to support the calendar overhaul.<\/p>\n

\u2018For decades, Black votes in particular have been the backbone of the Democratic Party but have been pushed to the back of the early primary process,\u2019 he wrote, referencing the state\u2019s sizable Black population.<\/p>\n

Notably, Biden\u2019s commanding victory in the 2020 South Carolina primary was widely credited for turning his then-flailing presidential campaign around.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Biden\u2019s 2024 campaign about the advertisement but did not immediately hear back.<\/p>\n\n
