Georgia and New Hampshire's places in limbo as Democrats hammer out 2024 primary order

 President Joe Biden’s plan to overhaul his party’s 2024 presidential primary schedule remained unsettled Friday, after a Democratic rules committee gave New Hampshire more time to comply with new rules that leaders there fiercely oppose, but opted not to immediately offer such an extension to another battleground state, Georgia.

The Democratic National Committee rules panel voted to let New Hampshire have until Sept. 1 to continue working on its plans for the 2024 Democratic primary. But that is unlikely to quell an ongoing feud between the national party and the state’s Democrats.

The same panel didn’t extend more time to Georgia, which hasn’t set its date for next year’s primary either. Though the party could still offer Georgia an extension later this year, the state’s place on Democrats’ 2024 primary calendar is in limbo, at least for now.
