President Barack Obama won’t have as visual of a presence in the New Hampshire Republican primary election as he did in the Iowa caucuses last week, but Mr. Obama is definitely making his unopposed Democratic candidacy status known in the Granite state.
Vice President Joe Biden will be on a conference call with Obama supporters Tuesday night as the New Hampshire Republican primary election votes are tallied.
According to his website, the president has more campaign field offices throughout New Hampshire than all of the Republican presidential candidates combined.
Mr. Obama is running unopposed on the Democratic primary ballot in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary election, and Monday during a campaign fundraiser in Washington D.C. he took shots at the Republican candidates that want to take his job in November.
“Republicans in Congress and these candidates, they think that the best way for America to compete for new jobs and businesses is to follow other countries in a race to the bottom,” said Mr. Obama Monday, in a statement obtained by The Associated Press. “The very core of what this country stands for is on the line. A sense of common purpose still exists in the country, maybe it doesn’t exist here in Washington and maybe not on the presidential debate stage of New Hampshire, but out in America, it’s there.”
During the Iowa caucuses, the president chatted with Democratic voters in Iowa via Skype. While he won’t be video conferencing with Democrats in New Hampshire Tuesday, Mr. Biden will be the face of his campaign as Republican presidential candidates await their fate.
In addition to the conference call with New Hampshire voters, Mr. Biden will host a webcast for New Hampshire Obama supporters Tuesday night.
