AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoU.S. Senate: New Hampshire voters picked the nominees for the open seat left by retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, setting up a November showdown between Republican former Sen. John E. Sununu and Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas after both won their primaries Tuesday. Democratic primary: Pappas defeated progressive challenger Karishma Manzur, with AP projecting a clear win, while Democrats framed the contest as a fight over ideology and Israel-related messaging. Republican primary: Sununu beat former Sen. Scott Brown, with Trump’s endorsement a major factor in the GOP race, and Sununu immediately pivoted to affordability and cost-of-living themes. Party reaction: The NH Democratic Party attacked Sununu as a “pro-Trump puppet,” while Republicans and Trump-aligned allies celebrated the nomination. Other major races: Gov. Kelly Ayotte won the GOP nomination and will face unopposed Democratic nominee Cinde Warmington in November; Warmington’s Purdue Pharma ties remain a flashpoint. Congress: In NH-01, Trump-backed businessman Anthony DiLorenzo won the GOP nomination; the Democratic side was still too close to call between Stefany Shaheen and Maura Sullivan. NH-02: Maggie Goodlander and Lily Tang Williams won their primaries, setting up a rematch. Voter mood: Multiple reports highlighted low enthusiasm and distrust among primary voters, with some expressing disgust or ambivalence at the choices on the ballot.
