GOP governor vows 'we will not back down' in battle with DNC over Biden's demands

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire vows not to 'back down' after Democratic Party punts again in battle with key primary state over Biden's presidential nominating calendar
The DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee on Thursday voted to grant New Hampshire — which for a century has held the first primary in the race for the White House — a third extension to give the state more time to come into compliance with the national party committee's new schedule, which moves South Carolina to the top of the nominating order.
The move by the panel came one day after New Hampshire Secretary of State Dave Scanlan announced that his state's presidential primary filing period would start on Oct. 11, leading to a contest that will likely be held in late January — ahead of South Carolina — and putting the Granite State on a collision course with the DNC.
The extension unanimously granted by the DNC panel on Thursday would last until Oct. 14.
