Battle Ensues Over New Hampshire's Primary Status

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has given New Hampshire until October 14 to submit a primary date that complies with the party's reshuffled order, as the state insists on being the first to cast ballots. The national party is in tension with New Hampshire over its refusal to give up its first primary status. The DNC may grant another extension to New Hampshire to bring it into compliance with the calendar requirements. If New Hampshire holds an unsanctioned primary, it risks losing half of its delegates to the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
