Much more complicated than that. Biden would have registered for the sanctioned February 6th primary. Not the one New Hampshire is running in January. This has been known for over a year.
But New Hampshire doesn’t want to budge because they have a state law claiming they get to always be the first primary. Biden purposely did not acknowledge the January date. For 2024 South Carolina will be the first DNC primary.
New Hampshire Democrats have a bad record of picking candidates that aren’t the eventual winner going back to Truman.
It’s slowly changing but they’ve had very homogeneous demographics for a long time. They’re the second oldest average age state as well. It doesn’t make sense to have such a state be the first primary for the party that isn’t for old white people.

I guess NH failed the DNC the last two times so they’re starting with SC to keep that from happening.
Biden goose egged NH in 2020 and I doubt he would fare better today.
