The 2024 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary was held on January 23, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. The January New Hampshire primary was not sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The DNC-approved 2024 calendar placed the South Carolina primary first, but New Hampshire state law mandates them to hold the first primary in the country, and a "bipartisan group of state politicians", including the chairs of the Democratic and the Republican parties, announced that the state would preserve this status.[5] Thus, the DNC initially stripped all 33 of the state's delegates that would have been allocated to the Democratic National Convention.[1][6] The delegates will be allowed to be seated at the convention following the holding of a party-backed firehouse primary on April 27.
Although running for a second term, incumbent President Joe Biden declined to appear on the January New Hampshire ballot to comply with the DNC. His supporters nevertheless carried out a successful write-in campaign on his behalf that he did not endorse,[7] winning over 60% of the vote.[8][9] Philips also won a significant number of votes, winning over 19% of the vote.[10]
