Biden's doing this because he has significant ties to South Carolina and only won the nomination because of it.

Still surprised he's even wading into this though. It would have been easier for Biden and the White House to just sit back and let things play out.

Yeah he really sucks at retail politics so he lost bad here, but black voters like him so he did well there

You’re answering your own question here. It doesn’t really make sense to hold a primary in a state that’s not representative

Retail politics are important. The first four all have a specific group they are testing your appeal for, and for NH it's your ability to connect personally with voters. That is important. I don't think that should be trampled upon because we have committed the grievous sin of having a lot of white people live here
