Although, it’s a terrible look for Biden and the DNC
It’s really not, not at all. IA and NH are in no way representative of the country at large or key groups to the Democratic coalition. This is a great move that should have taken place a long time ago.
It’s a stupid move, does nothing but alienate voters. I’m not saying NH should be first, a better change would be to make it one day nationally, or maybe a couple batches if we really need that (but I don’t think we do).
IMO, no one comes out of this looking good. The DNC has shown that it is willing to invalidate entire states’ voices when they disagree on with state politicians. That’s a very bad look considering they’re still suffering from all their bullshit in 2016.
On the other hand, NH doesn’t get too declare in their own state law that they get to vote before anyone else. Throwing a fit because someone else gets to go first is childish.
Make primaries a single national affair and be done with it. Better yet, make the general presidential elections national too.

One day nationally is the only answer.
