There will be 21 people listed on the Democratic presidential primary ballot in New Hampshire next month, but one name will be conspicuously absent. President Joe Biden, assuming he was the candidate by default, never filed to run in the New Hampshire primary. But that “default” assumption isn’t looking quite so solid these days and some of the Big Guy’s supporters are getting nervous. So a few of them have hastily launched a super PAC and begun an advertising campaign asking people to write in Biden’s name and demonstrating how to do so. Having an incumbent show up as a write-in candidate is pretty much unique in American electoral history, but we’re living in unusual times. So will this work? And will it even matter who wins?

This effort simply reeks of desperation. If Joe Biden is still convinced he will be the party’s nominee and that he’s on the way to a second term, why would he bother trying to win the New Hampshire primary? That’s particularly true since the DNC previously stated that there wasn’t going to be a primary, but they can’t stop the individual states from holding one.
