He has said the state’s popular Republican governor is “a Chinese Communist sympathizer,” called for the repeal of the 17th Amendment allowing direct popular election of senators and raised the possibility of abolishing the F.B.I.
The man behind these statements is Don Bolduc, a retired Army general who leads the Republican field in what should be a competitive race for the New Hampshire Senate seat held by Senator Maggie Hassan, a Democrat.
In one primary after another this year, Republican voters have chosen hard-right candidates who party officials had warned would have trouble winning in November, and Mr. Bolduc could be on course to be the next. Like him, many embraced former President Donald J. Trump’s election denial. “I signed a letter with 120 other generals and admirals saying that Donald Trump won the election and, damn it, I stand by” it, Mr. Bolduc said at a recent debate.
The suddenly fraught midterm landscape for Republicans caused Senator Mitch McConnell, the G.O.P. leader, to complain recently that poor “candidate quality” could cost his party a majority in the Senate that had long seemed the likely result.
In the final competitive primary of the year, scheduled for Sept. 13, Republican officials in New Hampshire are echoing Mr. McConnell. They warn that grass-roots voters are poised to elect another problematic nominee, Mr. Bolduc, and jeopardize a winnable race against a vulnerable Democrat.

The Vermont Republican electorate chose the conservative over the McConnell-preferred man-looking lesbian.
The Connecticut Republican electorate chose the conservative over the pro-abortion, pro-LGBT minority leader.
And in New Hampshire, the Republican electorate will likely choose the conservative over the Sununu-preferred pantywaist.
In addition, Massachusetts will likely nominate Geoff Diehl for governor.
And in Maine Paul LePage is running again to retake the governorship.
You can't lose them all, and the hand-wringing moderates may get some shocks in November.
We'll see.
For the NYT, any candidate not fully on the left is a “hard-right” candidate.
Does New Hampshire hold open primarys?
The New York Times is a Hard Left publication. And not a supporter of democracy when the annoying little people do not vote as they are told.
The Road to Serfdom leads directly to the Hard Left, with Democrats and RINOs giving directions.
We were better off with the man-looking lesbian in Vermont. Too late now.
The first sentence of this article alone would cause me to vote for Don.
Sounds good to me!

Sounds bad to me!
Maybe I'll make a contribution to General Bolduc.
New Hampshire is the Live Free or Die State is it not?!
Yes, for the NYT, there are many hard-right candidates. But there never seem to be any of the hard-left variety.
No, and you have to show ID.
only 2 voting problems in NH: Apathy and same-day registration.
The latter is the worst.
"Same-day registration" effectively means that the State keeps no registration rolls. The entire point of registration is defeated.
New York Times too depraved even for left-wing Milan daily Corriere della Sera
You mean someone who defines gender as being that corresponding to your god-given equipment.
When the NY Times makes a headline label “Hard Right” regarding a candidate, you just know they are referring to someone sane, reasonable, and willing to stand up to and fight back against abuse.
It’s always “hard right” and “Nazis” with these leftists.
What names are they going to use when an actual right wing extremist runs? (Do any exist anymore in positions of importance?).
On the other hand look at the left. Sanders, the squad…on and on.
All these fake news announcers and low info voters then carry on how the greatest threat is the right wing. Sheeple.
Can they also change registration on election/voting day, or does same day just apply to new registrants?
Sort of. “Sex” is the word you are looking for. I never understood (at the time) why seemingly overnight, many generic forms started using “Gender”.
Gender refers to words, not people. So you can’t really argue with someone about something that is nonsensical in the first place.
This article was in the NY Times?
Random graffiti in a bathroom is more accurate.
Exactly...pro-America = ‘hard right’ to the New York Times.
Is there even one DEMONrat who’s not HARD LEFT! HELL NO there’s NOT! A “Hard Right” candidate? BRING HIM/HER ON!!!
I see they used “hard right” instead of “far right.” Someone is slipping up and making the conservative sound less horrifying.
