New Hampshire Democrats choose Senate nominee in race critical to party's chamber control
Voters in the swing state pick between centrist Congressman Chris Pappas and progressive challenger Karishma Manzur to replace retiring three-term senator Jeanne Shaheen.
New Hampshire voters head to polls Tuesday for primary elections that will determine the Democratic nominee for an open Senate seat Democrats view as essential to retaking the chamber. The race emerged after incumbent Senator Jeanne Shaheen, 79, announced her retirement after three terms.
Congressman Chris Pappas, representing New Hampshire's first district, leads the Democratic field with over $4 million cash on hand. His main challenger is Dr. Karishma Manzur, a scientist and progressive activist without prior elected office experience, who has gained ground in recent weeks. Republicans view the open seat as a pickup opportunity.
