The Republican governor of New Hampshire, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/chris-sununu\">Chris Sununu<\/a>, did not hold back, he said this, \u2018We will not be threatened, we will follow our \u200dlaw, and we WILL,\u2019 in all caps, \u2018go first. End of story.\u2019 So how\u2019s this going to work out?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In response, McDaniel assured that\u200b she and Governor Sununu are &#8220;on the\u2063 same page&#8221; and pointed out that\u200b the Democratic National Committee caused controversy earlier this year by selecting South Carolina \u2064as the first presidential nominating state for the 2024 cycle, conflicting with Iowa and\u2062 New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u200d think New Hampshire and Iowa should recognize the \u2062RNC, the Republican Party, actually through our members. We supported Iowa having \u200cthe first-in-the-nation caucus and New\u2063 Hampshire \u2062having the first-in-the-nation primary,\u201d McDaniel stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the Democrats that just walked away from those two states, not us. So we\u2019re committed to that. Democrats\u200b are trying to place shenanigans in Iowa,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think New Hampshire should fall for that. And\u200c I hope they don\u2019t allow Democrats to mess with our primary process and our calendar, especially \u200dwhen they walked away from those two states. And so did [President] Joe Biden, by\u2063 the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to \u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/rnc-threatens-pull-new-hampshire-debate-state-moves-up-presidential-primary\">Fox News<\/a>, Governor Sununu&#8217;s statement had more\u2064 to it than what was mentioned in the interview with \u200cMcDaniel.<\/p>\n<p>Sununu, a Republican, also asserted that the &#8220;first presidential primary will \u200cbe taking place in New Hampshire, regardless of what the political power brokers in Washington, DC think&#8221; and criticized the threat to cancel New Hampshire&#8217;s\u200b debate as a disservice to the \u2064campaigns and candidates.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are the implications of New Hampshire potentially changing its primary date for the traditional order of the primary \u2063contests?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Sequential and \u2063there\u2019s\u2064 a\u200b domino\u200c effect, then the RNC could potentially remove the debate and move \u200bit to another state,\u201d said McDaniel. \u201cBut\u2064 that doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t\u200d want to have\u2062 the\u2064 debate in New Hampshire. We \u200dlove New Hampshire, we love the tradition and the history of it. But we also want to make sure it\u2019s a fair process and that every state in the country gets a fair shake.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McDaniel&#8217;s comments\u200c come as\u200d reports surfaced that\u2063 New Hampshire lawmakers were\u200d considering moving the\u2063 state&#8217;s primary earlier in the election cycle, potentially disrupting the\u2062 traditional order \u200bof\u200b Iowa holding the first caucuses and New Hampshire following with the first primary. The RNC has historically supported this order, viewing it as an important part of \u200dthe selection \u2064process for\u200d presidential candidates.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the RNC&#8217;s threat, New Hampshire Secretary of \u2064State Bill Gardner expressed his disappointment, stating that the state should \u200bhave \u200dthe\u200d right to \u200dset its own primary date. Gardner argued that New Hampshire&#8217;s role \u2062in the presidential nomination process \u2064has been crucial \u2064since 1920, and any changes to the schedule could\u2064 undermine the state&#8217;s influence.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the potential\u2062 for tension \u2064between\u200d the RNC and New Hampshire, McDaniel\u200b emphasized that the RNC\u200b values New Hampshire \u200band its\u200d historical role\u2063 in the \u200bprimary \u200dprocess. She also expressed the RNC&#8217;s commitment to \u2062ensuring a fair and transparent selection process for all states,\u2063 highlighting the importance of every state \u200dhaving an equal opportunity to participate.<\/p>\n<p>McDaniel further\u2063 noted that the RNC has not yet made a final \u200bdecision regarding the \u200ddebate location and is open to \u200bdiscussions with New Hampshire officials about finding a compromise. She\u200c reiterated that the RNC&#8217;s priority is to protect the integrity of the primary process and maintain the fairness and\u2064 competitiveness\u200d of \u2063the election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>As the 2024 election approaches, the feud between \u2062the RNC and New \u200cHampshire highlights the challenges and complexities\u2062 of the primary system. The traditional order, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/myth-of-moderation-is-there-no-safe-amount-of-alcohol\/\" title=\"Myth of \u201cModeration\u201d: Is There No Safe Amount of Alcohol?\">established decades ago<\/a>, has generally provided \u2064a clear path for candidates, allowing them\u200d to build \u200dmomentum and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-organization-plans-to-provide-parents-with-tools-to-combat-woke-indoctrination-in-schools\/\" title=\"New Organization Plans To Provide Parents With Tools To Combat \u2018Woke Indoctrination\u2019 In Schools\">gain media attention<\/a>. \u2062However, as states seek to maximize their influence and cater \u200cto candidates&#8217; demands, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rnc-boss-responds-to-new-hampshire-debate-uproar\/\" title=\"RNC Chief addresses uproar over NH debate.\">delicately balanced primary schedule<\/a> may\u2062 face increasing\u2062 pressure for change.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the outcome of this feud will have far-reaching implications\u2064 for future election cycles. It will not\u2063 only determine the order of the \u200cprimary contests but also shape the perceptions of fairness and equality\u200c in the selection process. As \u200ddiscussions continue between the \u2062RNC and New Hampshire officials, the \u200cprimary system is\u2063 likely to evolve, reflecting\u200d the changing dynamics of\u2064 American politics \u200dand the desire for a \u2064more inclusive and representative \u200cprocess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel dismissed rumors of a rift with New Hampshire over the 2024 election.
