MANCHESTER, N.H. New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte conceded the Senate race to Gov. Maggie Hassan Wednesday evening.
he concession announcement comes after Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan declared victory in the closely-watched U.S. Senate battle against the Republican incumbent.
"I just spoke with Gov. Hassan to congratulate her on her election to serve in the U.S. Senate," Ayotte said in a statement. "I wish Gov. Hassan, her husband, Tom, and their children, Ben and Meg, the very best."
Hassan is pledging to work with President-elect Donald Trump "when it's in the best interest of New Hampshire and the country," and she promises to stand up to him when it's not.
And not that NH has a Republican gov. that recently established tradition is heading down the drain.
Do we really want Senator Epi-Pen?
Cheap Labor Express stooges, we’re better off without them.
She shot herself in both feet and reloaded.
Quite the shot.
I don’t like losing the seat, but she was a disgusting fraud. She ran as a very conservative Tea Party champion & within 2 minutes of getting elected there she is with McCain & Graham pulling her strings. Plus she is as stupid as a pet rock. Real lightweight.
What a profile in cowardice.
we’re just going thru a period of trannnnnsitiiiiooonn..
She and a few others were ballast. (Kirk)
We’ll always have a murkowski to grab for the flag.
The “Buh-Bye” plane skit from SNL.
Trump carried WV 65-32. Manchin is only interested in self-preservation.
Goodbye RINO.
yup. it’s funny how God does just enough but not too much.
for instance, he left mccain, but took a bunch of his gop power base in the senate, but stopped short of giving the dems total control.
Murkowsky, Heller, Hoeven, Alexander, Corker, Hatch, Rubio, McCain, Graham, Flake all voted for the Gang of Eight bill.
They all need to be weeded out.
I think the Dems are in bad shape for 2018. It’s reverse of this year in that they will have so many more seats to defend. So capturing the senate might be near impossible.
Well, a two seat majority is better than none...right McConnell?
5.56mm
What reason is there to believe she would have voted for a conservative justice? A backstaber who pays the price might give the other backstabbing RINOs something to worry about.
McCain is like 85, does Arizona have a Republican governor?
No real loss.
What's McConnell ever done with his Senate majority but rubber stamp Obama's agenda? He's a POS.
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
You got what you deserved, Kelly.
