Far-right candidate causes headaches for GOP in New Hampshire (primary today!)

Republicans are staring down the possibility that a far-right candidate will prevail in New Hampshire’s GOP Senate primary, complicating what should be a prime pickup opportunity in the upper chamber.

Retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc (R), who’s accused the state’s governor of being a “Chinese communist sympathizer” and falsely claimed former President Trump won the 2020 election, has been leading a field of 11 GOP candidates to take on Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) in November.

In a sign of growing concern among Republicans in the state, Gov. Chris Sununu (R) made a last-minute endorsement of Senate President Chuck Morse (R), seen as the other leading GOP contender, in the hopes of shifting the race’s trajectory.

“This time there’s a real question, a concern that people like me have, that Gov. Sununu have, that if we nominate Bolduc our chances of winning this seat are greatly diminished,” said Fergus Cullen, former chairman of the New Hampshire GOP and a supporter of Morse.

The New Hampshire electorate is likely to go for broke and (GASP) nominate a conservative for US Senate, like Vermont and Connecticut did in their primaries.

New England is tired of the me-too Republicans!

Another "Far Right" reference.

To a leftwing communist/NAZI socialist, a Constitutional patriot is to their far right.

"and falsely claimed President Trump won the 2020 election"

These people never stop.

Thanks a lot RINOs, for doing NOTHING to investigate the fraud so leftist 'journalists' like this can gaslight us non-stop.

Here's hoping if Karie Lake or Mastriano win their respective governor races, we'll see a real investigation into the cheating.

If you believe in the US Constitution as written, then you are a far right wing radical.

“Far right” and “falsely claimed Trump won...” What a bunch of bullticky. This article is chock full of manure filled premises. A. Waste. Of. Time. And. Bandwidth. May God bless America, despite our many national failures, and may Americans turn our faces back to our God, the one and only God of all creation, God Almighty!

Maggie Hassan is beatable.

Just not by Bolduc.

It’s sickening, but what we see is the Uniparty playing out before our eyes. The RINOs will never change, they have to be driven into oblivion by the Patriots.

Gee, I am shocked that 'people like him' are saying things like this! I was taught better journalism as a sophomore in high school!

Had PDJTb officially endorses Bolduc?

"and falsely claimed former President Trump won the 2020 election."

Falsely my butt, anybody with half a brain knows Trump won it.!!

O'Biden getting over 81 million votes while hiding in the basement is NOT at all believable, and I, for one, will never accept it..

Journalists at THE HILL take an oath to repeat the above in all of their articles. And they are too stupid to question it.

Wonder why FR even posts articles from THE HILL. They are the least inquisitive reporters in the country.

Here’s my phrase that I repeat: “NOT TO BE BELIEVED.”

I think Lake has a good chance, Mastriano will probably lose to the fraud machine.

There will never be enough gaslighting in the world to get me to beleive that one.

In politics, if you want love - get a dog.

I liked the headline. The GOP deserves headaches! I like consultants pulling their hair out when the Republican electorate doesn’t follow their advice.
