Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), a close ally to President Joe Biden, was in New Hampshire on Saturday stumping for the Biden-Harris re-election campaign, as Democrats continue to look to mend relations with Granite Staters, following nearly two years of drama with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) over the state's primary.Coons, who is a campaign co-chair for Biden, traveled to Dover, Claremont, Concord, and Portsmouth to meet with supporters on behalf of the campaign."In several presidential elections, New Hampshire went on to determine the outcome, so I think the votes of New Hampshire voters of Granite Staters are important for the Biden Harris campaign," he said. "If New Hampshire had gone for Al Gore, would it change the arc of American history? It's important to make it clear that the Biden-Harris campaign takes New Hampshire very seriously."His visit comes just days after the DNC voted to count New Hampshire's delegates at the party's national convention, after initially telling state party leaders that the delegates would not count at the national convention in August, should the state hold its primary first.New Hampshire had refused to give up its first-in-the-nation primary status, which caused a rift with the DNC. However, after state Democrats handed President Joe Biden a win with a write-in campaign in January, and the state's party worked to comply with additional DNC rules, the party's Rules and Bylaws Committee changed its decision, and have New Hampshire's delegates count at the convention. "I am looking forward to being at the convention with a strong New Hampshire delegation, and to having all of us working to support the presidential candidate," Coons said.Coons shared his concern regarding the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, as the frustrations boil over on college campuses in the U.S."I respect what President Biden has said this week, which is we need to strike a balance between free speech and welcoming and valuing a peaceful protest the expression of concerns and opinions, while keeping campuses safe and allowing students to learn," Coons said.While some voters have said that they will not vote for President Biden, as a result of his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas, Coons stressed that the administration continues to work to support getting aid into Gaza."I understand and respect the very vocally expressed concerns of those who are outraged about the humanitarian conditions on the ground in Gaza," Coons said. "I've worked hard in the Senate, along with the two Senators from New Hampshire to deliver more humanitarian aid funding through the package just signed into law by President Biden last week."He noted that getting the hostages out of Gaza remains a top priority."It's exceptionally difficult. Hamas is a horrific terrorist organization that carried out of unspeakable violence on October 7. They continue to hold hostages beneath Gaza today, getting them to the table and getting them to release the hostages," he said.Coons added the administration continues to push for a ceasefire in the Middle East.
