John E. Sununu Wins Republican Senate Primary in New Hampshire
The general election race to replace Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, could help determine control of the U.S. Senate.
Former Senator John E. Sununu secured the Republican Senate primary victory in New Hampshire on Tuesday, as reported by The Associated Press. This triumph positions him to face off against Representative Chris Pappas in the general election, potentially enabling the party to secure a seat in November. President Trump and prominent outside groups endorsed Sununu, who outpaced his opponent, former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, with a decisive margin.
Sununu pledged during a post-election statement, "As senator, I'll have just one job: stand up for the people of New Hampshire every single day," emphasizing his focus on the economy, jobs, and affordability. The open Senate seat arises from the retirement of Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who has held the position for three terms.
Both Sununu and Brown previously lost Senate races to Shaheen; she defeated Sununu in 2008 and Brown in 2014.
