Pappas Joins Senate Race in New Hampshire

Congressman Chris Pappas has officially launched his bid for New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate seat, positioning himself as a unifying force in a deeply polarized nation. With incumbent Senator Jeanne Shaheen stepping aside, this race is critical for Democrats aiming to reclaim Senate control—and could be one of the few GOP flip opportunities this year. Republicans face a crowded field, led by polling favorite John Sununu, whose family legacy looms large, and former Senator Scott Brown. Pappas, a four-term congressman, already sees Sununu as his likely general election rival, while his own primary challenge comes from Karishma Manzur, a Ph.D. scientist running to become the first female scientist in the Senate. The primary is set for September 8, with the ballot deadline June 12—watch this space as New Hampshire’s Senate race heats up. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
