Pappas, Sununu will fight out to succeed Shaheen in New Hampshire Senate race
Former Sen. John Sununu and Rep. Chris Pappas won their primaries, setting up a Senate race that could help decide control of the chamber.
- On Tuesday, Republican former Sen. John Sununu and Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas won their New Hampshire Senate primaries, setting up a general election battle to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
- Shaheen retired this year after serving three terms, prompting Republicans to believe they can capture the open seat with Sununu, a member of a well-known political family.
- Primary results show Sununu received 70% of the vote to Brown's 25%, while Pappas defeated challenger Karishma Manzur, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, with 62% to 36% support.
- Campaign attacks have already intensified, with Pappas accusing Sununu of making $35 million from regulated industries, while the GOP super PAC One Nation alleged the congressman supported tax breaks for "million dollar homes."
- This contest is a crucial battleground race for the Senate majority, with Republicans citing GOP Gov. Kelly Ayotte on the ticket, though Democrats remain skeptical in a state President Donald Trump has never won.
