U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) has backed out of a scheduled debate with her Republican challenger and political newcomer Don Bolduc.
Wendy Hunt, president of the Nashua Chamber of Commerce, told The Epoch Times that Hassan has asked to appear separately on stage for the Oct. 12 event.
Hunt declined to comment further, saying only in an email to The Epoch Times about the change that Hassan would appear first, followed by Bolduc.
Hunt was cited by the NH Journal as saying that the Hassan campaign contacted her on Oct. 6, indicating that the incumbent would participate only if it were “a stand-alone forum, not a debate.”
Hassan has also insisted that Bolduc not be present when she speaks, Kate Constantini, a com strategist for Bolduc, told The Epoch Times.
“He can’t even be in the audience,” said Constantini, “he has to stay in the green room.”
The Hassan campaign didn’t respond to inquiries by The Epoch Times about the cancellation, and Hassan has released no statement about it.
The debate is billed as a luncheon event and has been listed for weeks on the chamber’s calendar. It’s part of its candidate series, which includes a scheduled debate on Oct. 18 between New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and Democratic challenger Tom Sherman, and an Oct. 25 debate between U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas and Republican challenger Karoline Leavitt.

Typical chickens**t democrat.
They’re playing the “don’t even recognize that they have an opponent for office” game.
We’ll see in three weeks if it was successful. Katie Hobbs in Arizona, playing the same gambit, looked like a total fool this past week.
Nice...
I bet Cave Troll pulls out of the debate on Oct 25th against Oz.
This is how many no debate D’s? 3?...
Cluck, cluck, cluck.
She’s so far ahead, why give him a platform?
Is this a new demorat strategy???
Democrats are refusing to debate all over. The few that have debated have been getting their butts kicked. Hopefully Americans will not tolerate all this basement campaigning.
Well he’d have to start getting dressed now. I’m betting the hoodies aren’t some working class fashion statement but it’s all the dexterity he can muster after the stroke.
When you’ve lost in the arena of ideas, why debate at all? It’s much easier to steal elections and intimidate election workers.
Fits in with the dims
Lie, cheat and denigrate the opponent.
His Brazilian skeezer probably dresses him.
Someone actually posted a pic of him wearing a suit!
So he has at least one...
Oz should prepare for that with two things. A huge airtime buy to run a mock debate followed by campaign ads attacking Lumpy for not debating.
I agree, but it will be so late in the game that most people will have mailed in, or know who they are voting for.
I will never understand people who haven’t a clue who they’re voting for a week before an election.
A "political newcomer" is what is needed...sweep the dims into the dust bin of history....big majority in the house....governorship and secretary of state positions switch to newcomer MAGA folk...maybe if the red tide surges to tsunami a couple of Senate seats also.
That’s funny.

After liberals saw Walker kick butt, they are running scared from debates now.
