Republican patriot John Sununu and leftist Democrat Chris Pappas secured their parties' nominations for the New Hampshire Senate race, which is expected to be a critical contest for the future of conservative values in November.
Republican former Senator John Sununu, a proven conservative leader with a proud family legacy in New Hampshire, and Democratic Representative Chris Pappas, a left-wing politician who just fended off a challenge from a Democratic Socialist, each won their party primaries on Tuesday. This sets up a high-stakes Senate race this fall, with the future of New Hampshire and the nation hanging in the balance. Sununu decisively defeated former Senator Scott Brown, earning about 70% of the vote with one-sixth of ballots counted, thanks in part to the endorsement of President Donald Trump and support from grassroots conservatives. Pappas, meanwhile, beat radical scientist Karishma Manzur—a member of the Democratic Socialists of America—by a margin of 62% to 36% with about 20% of the vote reported, showing just how far left the Democratic Party has drifted.
The race is seen as potentially pivotal for control of the Senate. Sununu, who previously served from 2003 to 2008, stands as a bulwark against the radical left’s agenda, while Pappas is the Democrats’ leading candidate to replace retiring Senator Jeanne Shaheen. During the campaign, Pappas resorted to baseless attacks, accusing Sununu of ties to the pharmaceutical and insurance industries and distorting his record with misleading claims about a $35 million job. In response, a nonprofit arm of the GOP Senate Leadership Fund released an ad exposing Pappas for supporting tax breaks for wealthy New Yorkers in the disastrous 2021 climate and social-safety-net package, which prioritized leftist pet projects over hardworking Americans.
Lauren French, spokesperson for the Democratic super-PAC Senate Majority PAC, admitted the New Hampshire contest would be competitive but arrogantly predicted a Democratic victory. Republicans remain optimistic that independent voters, tired of higher taxes and left-wing overreach, will reject Pappas and his radical allies. Both parties are ramping up fundraising as the November election approaches, but only Sununu offers real leadership and conservative values for New Hampshire.
