Biden recognized Trump as a presidential candidate and warned of a threat to the United States

Trump is leading the early Republican primary in New Hampshire, with 54.6% of voters supporting him for the presidential nomination. This was enough for Biden to officially recognize him as his rival. Donald Trump and Joe Biden

US President Joe Biden believes that his predecessor Donald Trump will be the Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election after his victory in the first primaries in New Hampshire, as quoted by CNN.

“It is now clear that Donald Trump will be the nominee of the Republican Party,” Biden said. “And my message to the country: the stakes couldn’t be higher.” Our democracy. Our personal freedoms - from the right to choose to the right to vote. Our economy is experiencing the strongest recovery in the world post COVID . Everything is at stake."

Trump is leading in the first Republican primary, which took place in New Hampshire on January 23. According to the AP, he managed to secure the support of 54.6% of voters for the presidential nomination, based on the results of counting 91% of the ballots. Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley gets 43.2%.

The New Hampshire primary is up for votes for 22 of the 2,429 delegates who will choose the party's presidential nominee at the convention in Milwaukee, Wis., July 15-18. Their votes are distributed proportionally among the candidates who receive more than 10% of the votes.

Biden wins the New Hampshire Democratic primary as the candidate whose name voters wrote on the ballot. He receives 45.1% of the vote after 89% of the ballots are counted, according to the AP. Biden's name was not on the ballot; voters in the state were asked to write it in any variation themselves - for example, “President Biden,” “Joe and Kamala,” or even “Bidon,” The Hill writes.

The Democratic National Committee has decided to change its election calendar and move the primaries to a later date, with the first event being the Feb. 3 vote in South Carolina, whose population is highly ethnically and racially diverse. Biden himself insisted on the transfer. However, the New Hampshire Legislature rejected an attempt to change the date of the primaries. Because of this, the state will not send delegates to the party convention in Chicago Aug. 18-22. Thus, Biden's victory in New Hampshire will not bring him a single delegate vote, but should give impetus to his election campaign, The Hill notes.

How the New Hampshire Primary Affects the Presidential Race

The delegates up for grabs in New Hampshire represent only about 1% of the July Republican convention. For presidential hopefuls, however, the vote is particularly important from a symbolic perspective because it is the first primary in 2024 to gauge the level of support among voters.

Moreover, the winner of the New Hampshire primary often becomes the party's official candidate in the presidential election—there have been only three exceptions since the 1950s, CNN notes. Republican campaigns and affiliates spent more than $77 million on political advertising in the state, up from about $50 million in 2020, according to AdImpact.
