Biden wins the 2024 New Hampshire primary by a massive margin as a write-in candidate

[Hardkill]

Biden defeated Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson in the 2024 New Hampshire primary by an immense margin despite him being a relatively weak incumbent candidate and the fact that since 2022 many polls kept showing that most Americans, including some majority of Democrats, don't want Biden to run for re-election. Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips campaigned as hard as they could in the state and in many other parts of the country saying that Biden is too weak of a candidate, too unpopular even within the Democratic party, many politicians and pundits have already been calling for him to step aside to let a younger generation of new Dem candidates run for president, he is definitely going to lose to Trump in 2024, and so on and so forth. 

Yet, the vast majority of Democrats in many of those polls said that if Biden were the nominee that they would still vote for and support him in 2024. Moreover, Biden just won the New Hampshire primary even though his name wasn't on the ballot. In fact, he probably won the largest margin of victory for any write-in presidential candidate in US History.

   Guinness world record?

   Would've been nice if votes were more neck and neck. What are your thoughts on why those two lost so bad, and Biden somehow won by huge margin???

Well, Idk if it's necessary to have been in the Guinness book of world records. lol. However, I think that it's quite an amazing feat for Biden. 

Biden and the Democratic party as a whole want don't want him to lose any primary. They don't even want him to just win by a narrow margin. Otherwise, that would cause the party to be significantly weakened and divided, which would hurt Biden's re-election chances. It's okay for the party holding the White House to have a heated and competitive primary of candidates for the nomination of their party for president, but not a good idea for the party in power to do so. In fact, 

One big reason the Dems lost the presidency in 1952, 1968, 1980, and 2016 was because during each of those presidential election years the Democrats were the party that had the presidency, but then were divided and weakened by the election day.

Phillips and Williamson lost to Biden terribly because they fortunately were not serious Democratic challengers. They don't have the kind of big name recognition like that of a Democratic governor like Gavin Newsom, a Democratic Senator like Bernie Sanders, some kind of celebrity congressperson like as AOC, or maybe some kind of very famous, popular celebrity who's not politician but is a Democrat such as George Clooney. 

Furthermore, even if they had the name recognition they needed to command enough widespread attention throughout the nation both Williamson and Phillips haven't run campaigns that are appealing to most Democratic voters, let alone the majority of the general electorate throughout the whole country. Williamson is perceived by the public as being a fringe left-wing Democrat. Dean Phillips, is more moderate than Williamson and has been part of the Democratic establishment for about 6 years, but he's neither been doing a great job with managing his campaign nor has been an inspirational individual that has able to stand out in any appealing way.

Were the other two people that bad that Biden won so hardly?

I am unaware of the detailed politics but I see that many Americans do not like Biden, he has lowest approval ratings so I was wondering.

I wish Sanders could have run, way better than the rest.

No, I would prefer Phillips over Biden, very few people vote in Primary elections.
