Due to increased security, Stepanek said the annual meeting will only be open to credentialed state committe members and invited guests.
The New Hampshire Democratic Party issued a statement Monday calling Trump's record in New Hampshire "abysmal."
"Not only did he lose in New Hampshire in both previous presidential races, but all of his endorsed candidates in the Granite State lost by staggering margins in 2022," the statement said.
Trump did win the 2016 Republican New Hampshire primary, his first election win, but he lost the general election vote in New Hampshire in that year and in 2020.
