Williamson, Phillips to Debate Without Biden in New Hampshire
Despite Biden's Absence, Allies Launch Write-in Campaign as Williamson and Phillips Seek to Gain Traction
- Democratic presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips are set to debate in New Hampshire on January 8, without the participation of President Joe Biden.
- Biden has not filed to be on the ballot in New Hampshire due to a reshuffling of the primary calendar by the Democratic National Committee, which moved South Carolina ahead of New Hampshire.
- Despite Biden's absence, his allies have launched a write-in campaign for him in New Hampshire, with a Super PAC called 'Granite for America' fundraising for the effort.
- Williamson and Phillips are struggling to gain traction in their efforts to unseat Biden, with recent polls showing Williamson at 12% and Phillips at 4-17%.
- The debate will be hosted by New England College and moderated by Josh McElveen, former political director of radio station WMUR. It will air on SiriusXM’s POTUS Channel 124 at 7 p.m. EST.
