Republican primary voters nominated Don Bolduc for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire, selecting a far-right candidate over an establishment-backed rival to challenge Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan in a key midterm battleground.
Bolduc has echoed Donald Trump’s false claims that the former president won the 2020 election; he has voiced openness to abolishing the FBI; and he has accused party leaders of “rigging” a 2020 primary that he narrowly lost.
The result in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District was a blow to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy . There, Karoline Leavitt, an ex-member of the Trump White House press team who ran as an “America First” insurgent running against the Washington establishment, defeated Matt Mowers, a former Trump aide backed by McCarthy, according to the Associated Press.Leavitt, who has emphasized her false claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, will face Rep.
Trump did not make an endorsement in the New Hampshire Senate primary or in either of the state’s House primaries, a noticeable absence after weighing in on scores of other intraparty contests this year.Hassan easily won renomination Tuesday, according to the AP. In the governor’s race, Sununu won renomination
For a time, national Republicans viewed the path to winning back control of the Senate as potentially running heavily through New Hampshire. When Sununu opted instead to seek reelection, local and national Republicans coalesced around Morse as the strongest alternative to Bolduc — who has embraced the fight against the party establishment.“It’s just noise. I’ve combated that for two years,” said Bolduc in an interview after a Saturday town hall in Laconia.
