Democratic Representative Chris Pappas has won the New Hampshire Senate race, defeating former Republican Senator John Sununu. According to Axios, Pappas led Sununu 61% to 38% with 20% of the votes counted, and he will replace retiring Senator Jeanne Shaheen in January. CBS News also projects a victory for Pappas, which would keep the seat in Democratic hands.
The Guardian US reports that Pappas, a four-term congressman, focused his campaign on serving as a bulwark against the Trump administration. Axios notes that Pappas will become the first openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate. While Sununu was endorsed by President Trump, Axios reports he had shown daylight with the president regarding trade wars and an anti-weaponization fund, leading some prominent New Hampshire Republicans to endorse Pappas in mid-October.
