Several of Joe Biden’s most prominent endorsers in New Hampshire have been quietly signaling for weeks that the campaign needs to make changes if it wants to win the first-in-the-nation primary, interviews with Democrats directly familiar with the state operation reveal.
Up until recently, Biden had maintained a comfortable standing in early polls in New Hampshire. But that advantage has disappeared amid the growing momentum and war chests of two neighboring state rivals, and now, as the official filing date for the primary kicked off on Wednesday, his early backers are blaming different parts of the campaign’s structure for hampering his ability to stay on top.
Some Biden backers in New Hampshire believe the problems are at the national level, where they see a visible lack of direction that has trickled down to the early states for some time now. Others dismiss that dynamic as natural friction between any state and national teams, and say the greater issue is a communication breakdown happening on the ground.
