President Joe Biden took aim at former President Donald Trump in his first statement after securing his first win of the 2024 cycle in the unsanctioned first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire.

Biden also thanked voters in New Hampshire for delivering him the historic win, in which the incumbent president became the first write-in candidate in U.S. history to win a presidential primary after the Democratic National Committee deprioritized New Hampshire on its nominating contest calendar in favor of South Carolina after pressure from Biden.

“It is now clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee. And my message to the country is the stakes could not be higher. Our democracy, our personal freedoms, from the right to choose to the right to vote, our economy, which has seen the strongest recovery in the world since COVID — all are at stake,” Biden said.

He added, “I want to thank all those who wrote my name in this evening in New Hampshire. It was a historic demonstration of commitment to our democratic process. And I want to say to all those independents and Republicans who share our commitment to core values of our nation — our democracy, our personal freedoms, an economy that gives everyone a fair shot — to join us as Americans.”

In a statement shortly after the primary races were called, however, Biden’s campaign failed to mention his projected 2024 win in New Hampshire, instead opting to lambaste Trump and underscore Biden’s record.

Biden’s statement and his campaign both ignored former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley too as the former South Carolina governor contends she would outperform the incumbent president in a hypothetical general election matchup.

“Tonight’s results confirm Donald Trump has all but locked up the GOP nomination, and the election denying, anti-freedom MAGA movement has completed its takeover of the Republican Party,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez wrote Tuesday.
