Former President Donald Trump tore into defeated New Hampshire GOP candidate Don Bolduc — whom he had endorsed for the Senate — for walking back his claim that the 2020 election was stolen. “Don Bolduc was a very nice guy, but he lost tonight when he disavowed, after his big primary win, his long-standing stance on Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Primary,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday. “Had he stayed strong and true, he would have won, easily,” added the former commander-in-chief, who endorsed Bolduc late last week. “Lesson Learned!!” “General Don Bolduc...

Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan has been projected to win reelection in New Hampshire, beating out Republican Don Bolduc in what was once seen as a strong pickup opportunity for the GOP. Hassan’s victory is key for Democrats in their quest to maintain control of the evenly divided Senate. Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, was not the preferred choice of establishment Republicans to take on Hassan. Their first pick was GOP Gov. Chris Sununu, but he passed on running. GOP-allied groups spent millions on ads during the primary attacking Bolduc as a weak candidate and boosting state Senate President Chuck...

Of the incumbents, Governor Chris Sununu and Congresswoman Annie Kuster seem poised to win re-election, but Senator Maggie Hassan and Congressman Chris Pappas are facing stiff challenges. Polls are snapshots of voter attitudes in time, not predictions, and candidates will have the opportunity to make their final arguments in this week’s closing debates.”
