You might not know that Joe Biden, who was not on the ballot, won the Democratic nomination in New Hampshire last night. Via Politico:

A write-in campaign for President Joe Biden won the New Hampshire Democratic primary Tuesday, after the state was stripped of its delegates by the Democratic National Committee.

Voters who wrote in Biden’s name beat out Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and self-help author Marianne Williamson, according to three news networks, with early counts of unprocessed write-in ballots outnumbering votes for Phillips by a more-than-three-to-one margin.

Biden bypassed the New Hampshire primary, after the DNC reshuffled the presidential nominating calendar and elevated South Carolina to the first-place spot. Biden, who backed the new lineup, did not appear on the ballot in New Hampshire, nor did he campaign in the state.

The New Hampshire results indicate that Biden is barreling toward a rematch with former President Donald Trump in the general election.
