According to the new official calendar, South Carolina will start the ball rolling on February 3, 2024, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada a few days later. But New Hampshire could still host a Democratic primary before South CarolinaA state law It is to be the first state to hold such a poll for the presidential election. If such a scenario were to occur, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could win this primary, which would be a minor disaster for Joe Biden and the Democrats.
You should know that Joe Biden has already announced that his name will not appear on any primary ballot before South Carolina. If New Hampshire holds its primary before February 3, Kennedy will have a good chance of winning if we are to believe recent polls that place him second behind the president among Democratic voters’ preferred candidates.
Kennedy, it must be said, has really nothing to please the Democrats, except a popular name, which undoubtedly contributes to his popularity in the polls.

RFK Jr.’s victory in New Hampshire is sure to spark a media conversation about Biden’s vulnerability. So the 69-year-old candidate will no doubt have support from the media, strategists and conservative donors.
