DNC Restores New Hampshire's Delegates for Summer Convention

The Democratic National Committee has reinstated New Hampshire's full delegation after a controversial party-run nominating event.

  • The DNC's rules committee approved New Hampshire's delegate allocation following a nominating event that was not widely recognized as a primary.
  • The decision ends a prolonged dispute over the primary calendar, which had been altered to prioritize states with more diverse electorates.
  • New Hampshire held an unsanctioned primary in January, which led to threats of sanctions and non-seating of delegates at the national convention.
  • Despite the controversy, President Biden won the January primary through a write-in campaign, and his nomination for re-election remains unchallenged.
  • The DNC plans to reevaluate the primary calendar order for 2028 after this year's general election, potentially reigniting debates over which state should vote first.
