President Joe Biden finished in fifth place in the 2020 New Hampshire primary.

New Hampshire will hold its 2024 presidential primary on Jan. 23, defying the Democratic National Committee’s plan to have the state vote later in the primary calendar next year.

The state Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case this week over whether a former Claremont police officer’s disciplinary records should be made public. And House lawmakers are putting together a new proposal to amend the state’s bail reform law.

We talk about these stories and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap.
