Former President Donald Trump's executive order to overhaul the nation's election systems has led to legal challenges from the Democratic National Committee and two nonprofit organizations, who argue it is unconstitutional and could disrupt election processes. Additionally, Trump has hinted at the possibility of serving a third term, despite constitutional limits, a notion he has suggested since his first reelection campaign.

Biden's campaign manager wrote a letter to New Hampshire Democrats explaining the decision, and it will be interesting to see how the Democratic Party and its voters respond.
