Dave Wasserman of The Cook dinner Political Report tweeted his projection:
I’ve seen sufficient: Pres. Joe Biden (D) wins the New Hampshire Democratic presidential major.

The New Hampshire Democratic Occasion had organized a write-in effort for President Biden, regardless that they have been very sad with the President’s push to get South Carolina to be the primary Democratic major in 2024 and never New Hampshire. If there was one constant supply of grumbling popping out of New Hampshire, it has been concerning the lack of first within the nation major standing.
Biden was by no means in jeopardy of dropping to Phillips, however as with the Republican contest, the margin of victory can be attention-grabbing. President Biden didn’t register to be on the poll or set foot within the state through the unsanctioned major. If the President nonetheless ran away with the win, it ought to put to mattress the baseless notion that Democrats wish to have a special nominee.
Phillips’s loss ought to be the ultimate nail in his presidential major marketing campaign if the projection holds up. Biden can be on the poll in all the remaining contests, that means there’s zero likelihood for Phillips to win something, as President Biden is projected to get his first (unofficial) win of 2024.
