MAGGIE HASSAN

The Republican candidate for Senate in New Hampshire campaigned on election denialism, and lost by nine points. Is he ready to renounce Donald Trump?

If Tuesday’s vote defied the durable history of presidential parties taking heavy losses in a midterm election, it also reinforced an often-forgotten fact: These campaigns are a patchwork of thousands of races, not a nationwide contest.

Amid election deniers inspired by Donald Trump, concession speeches like Tim Ryan's seem rare. But he wasn't the only one who won in defeat.

Republicans inched closer to a narrow House majority while control of the Senate hinges on tight Arizona, Nevada and Georgia races.

The former president leaned on a Trump-ian theme to distance himself from a critical loss.

As she faces a difficult re-election against Republican challenger Don Bolduc, Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire is joined on by fellow Democratic Sen. Cory Booker.

Republican candidate Don Bolduc has been trailing Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan in every poll since he won his primary.

The first debate between U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan and Don Bolduc on Tuesday pitted the Democratic incumbent’s record against her Republican rival’s campaign trail rhetoric. Bolduc accused Hassan of failing constituents by supporting the Biden administration’s economic and energy policies, while she used his own words against him to argue he has undermined democracy and endangered women. “Senator Hassan has supported Joe Biden 100% of the time with every failed policy that has resulted in your choice between heating and eating, has diminished your ability to provide three meals a day, has closed small businesses, has hurt people across this Granite State and across America,” Bolduc said.

Democrats predicted abortion would be Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s saving grace.

The retired Army general claimed during his primary campaign that the White House race was stolen from former President Donald Trump. Then, after Bolduc won the Sept. 13 vote, he said it wasn't. Trump has called Bolduc a “strong guy, though guy,” but did not formally endorse the candidate in the primary. "I have come to the conclusion, and I want to be definitive about this, that the election was not stolen," Bolduc said. “I’m done when these treasonous people in the White House, in our government,” said Mary Margaret Burke of Hampstead.

Don Bolduc isn’t making a full about-face, but the Republican nominee for Senate in New Hampshire can’t seem to stop shifting his position about whether the 2020 presidential election was legitimate.

Now comes the reckoning in New Hampshire — where all three congressional races feature vulnerable Democrats — and beyond for Republicans.

Republican candidates have given wildly differing responses to South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham’s plan to ban abortion nationwide at 15 weeks.

Gen. Donald Bolduc won New Hampshire's Senate Republican primary on Wednesday and will face potentially vulnerable Democratic incumbent Maggie Hassan in November — setting up another test of whether a fierce conservative can appeal to more moderate general election voters. Bolduc wasn't formally endorsed by former President Donald Trump but has said he believes Trump won the 2020 election and has espoused conspiracy theories about vaccines. The results of Tuesday's primaries mean the general election for Senate in New Hampshire should provide another such test. By contrast, Sununu called Bolduc a conspiracy theorist and suggested he would have a tougher time in the general election. In New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District, the pro-Trump Burns won the Republican nomination to face five-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster in a general election race the GOP sees as potentially very competitive.

Gen. Donald Bolduc won New Hampshire's Senate Republican primary on Wednesday and will face potentially vulnerable Democratic incumbent Maggie Hassan in November – setting up another test of whether a fierce conservative can appeal to more moderate general election voters. The results of Tuesday's primaries mean the general election for Senate in New Hampshire should provide another such test. Republican primary voters also picked conservative candidates this year in moderate or Democratic-leaning states including Massachusetts, potentially putting competitive races out of the party’s reach. By contrast, Sununu called Bolduc a conspiracy theorist and suggested he would have a tougher time in the general election. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged the challenge last month, saying his party may be more likely to end Democrats' narrow control of the House than the Senate.

Normally, political parties make changes in response to election setbacks. Not anymore.

Retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc has won the Republican primary for Senate in New Hampshire, potentially imperiling the GOP’s chances of defeating Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan in November. Bolduc prevailed over state Senate President Chuck Morse, the preferred candidate of moderate Republicans like Chris Sununu, the state's popular governor, who had endorsed Morse last week. "I signed a letter with 120 other generals and admirals saying that Donald Trump won the election and, damn it, I stand by [it]," Bolduc said at an August debate. "It's no surprise that the Democrats fear Chuck Morse," Sununu wrote in a New Hampshire Union Leader editorial on Sunday. "They are so afraid at the prospect of Chuck Morse taking on Sen. Hassan that her liberal ally, Sen. Chuck Schumer, is meddling in our Republican primary, spending over $3 million to falsely attack Chuck Morse.

Don Bolduc will face incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan in the November midterms.

Republicans see Democratic incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire as beatable in the general election, now just eight weeks away. The GOP is grappling with the possibility of again nominating a candidate who is popular with the party's base but struggles to broaden support ahead of the November general election. Republican primary voters have similarly chosen conservative candidates this year in moderate or Democratic-leaning states including Massachusetts and Maryland, potentially putting competitive races out of the party's reach. “That is because the theme of his campaign and messaging is very similar to former President Trump,” Levesque said. Known for kicking off the primary season during presidential campaigns, New Hampshire is instead concluding the nominating process for this year's midterms.

Still, Bolduc has been able to make inroads by positioning himself as an ally of Trump and his election falsehoods. “That is because the theme of his campaign and messaging is very similar to former President Trump,” Levesque said. Known for kicking off the primary season during presidential campaigns, New Hampshire is instead concluding the nominating process for this year's midterms. There are also primaries Tuesday in Rhode Island and Delaware, where President Joe Biden traveled late Tuesday to cast his ballot. “Her compass always points to Trump," said Dante Scala, a University of New Hampshire political science professor.

Democrats are meddling in another Republican primary race, while a Republican PAC is combatting their efforts to elect a candidate they believe has the best chance at winning this fall.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is transferring $15 million from his campaign account to his party’s candidates, incumbents and political committee for the fall election.

But the prospect of Don Bolduc winning Tuesday's GOP Senate primary has dampened those ambitions. “That is because the theme of his campaign and messaging is very similar to former President Trump,” Levesque said. Bolduc is competing in a crowded field that includes Chuck Morse, the more moderate president of the New Hampshire state Senate, who has been endorsed by Sununu. But the former president has called Bolduc a “strong guy.”The final primary contests are unfolding at a dramatic moment in the midterm campaign. Also running is Matt Mowers, who won the district's congressional 2020 Republican nomination and was a Trump administration State Department adviser.

Retired Army Brig. Gen. Donald Bolduc has won New Hampshire’s Republican Senate primary and will face potentially vulnerable Democratic incumbent Maggie Hassan in November.

Scott Applewhite) (J. Scott Applewhite)WASHINGTON — (AP) — Senate Democrats have reached an accord on eleventh-hour changes to their top-priority economic legislation, they announced late Thursday, clearing a major hurdle to moving the measure through the chamber in coming days. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said lawmakers had achieved a compromise “that I believe will receive the support” of all Democrats in the chamber. His party needs unanimity to move the measure through the 50-50 Senate, along with Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote.
