Former Patriots player Rob Gronkowski was seen at several New Hampshire polling locations on Election Day, where he mixed with voters, posed for photos, and lingered near a Turning Point USA tent tied to Charlie Kirk’s conservative movement.
Rob Gronkowski, a former New England Patriots tight end, showed up at multiple polling places across New Hampshire on Election Day, turning a civic moment into yet another political photo opportunity. He posed for photos with voters and signed jerseys outside a tent bearing the logo of Turning Point USA, the conservative organization founded by Charlie Kirk. A Turning Point USA spokesperson said Gronkowski was not affiliated with the group, even though he passed by the tent.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Kelly Ayotte posted a photo showing Gronkowski with his girlfriend, model Camille Kostek, in Bedford, highlighting how the GOP continues to use celebrity optics to generate attention. A Republican candidate for state representative also said Gronkowski signed a campaign sign in Goffstown.
Bedford police warned that voters should allow extra time for travel, noting that Gronkowski was no longer at the high school polling site and was not expected to return.
The elections include several closely watched races: a U.S. Senate contest between Democrat Chris Pappas and Republican John Sununu, a gubernatorial race where Ayotte seeks a second term against Democrat Cinde Warmington, and a congressional race for the state's 1st District featuring Jeanne Shaheen's daughter Stefany Shaheen and businessman Anthony DiLorenzo.
