New Hampshire's presidential primary filing period has begun, with a Democrat critical of Joe Biden and a Republican critical of Donald Trump the first two candidates to sign up
Mark Stewart Greenstein, right, hands a pen back to New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan after filing to get on the state's 2024 Democratic presidential primary ballot on Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023 in Concord, N.H. Greenstein, of West Hartford, Connecticut, is making his fourth long-shot bid for the nomination.
“This is a choice for no Joe Biden,” he said before entering the Statehouse to file. “There should be a way for Democrats to express that they don’t like their front-runner. I’m not his replacement, I’m not going to be around next November. But you can say as a voter, ‘I’m a voter who is dissatisfied.’”
The candidates have until Oct. 27 to sign up, and dozens are expected to do so in part because it’s relatively cheap and easy. They need only meet the basic requirements to be president, fill out a one-page form and pay the filing fee. Biden’s campaign won’t comment on whether he will be on the ballot in New Hampshire. But he wouldn’t be the first reelection-seeking incumbent missing from the primary ballot: President Lyndon Johnson won the 1968 Democratic primary as a write-in, though a shockingly strong-second place showing by Sen. Eugene McCarthy helped push him out of the race., said he was excited to welcome candidates starting Wednesday.
