Trump's pick wins GOP primary for open Pappas House seat

Stefany Shaheen, daughter of Senator Jeanne Shaheen, emerged victorious in New Hampshire's Democratic primary for the state's 1st District on Tuesday. Despite facing criticism for potentially leveraging her family name, Shaheen managed to create a strong polling lead and secure financial backing.

As the race narrowed down, two candidates, including progressive Christian Urrutia, withdrew their support, endorsing Shaheen instead.

The district, vacated by Rep. Chris Pappas who sought the Senate seat, is predicted to be fiercely competitive in the general election, with former Vice President Kamala Harris winning it by just two points in 2024.
