New Hampshire Voters Head to Polls in Primary for Open Senate Seat
The primary comes as Sen. Jeanne Shaheen prepares to retire at the end of her term next year, opening a rare competitive contest for the seat.
New Hampshire voters went to the polls on Tuesday to cast ballots in a primary election for an open U.S. Senate seat, according to CNBC.
The vacancy stems from the retirement of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat who has represented New Hampshire in the Senate and is not seeking another term when her current one ends next year, CNBC reported.
Names associated with the race, as noted by CNBC, include Scott Brown, John Sununu, Chris Pappas and Karishma Manzur. CNBC did not provide further detail on the candidates' platforms or campaign activities in the excerpt reviewed.
Shaheen's decision not to run again has made the New Hampshire Senate seat one of the more closely watched open contests heading into the next election cycle, according to the report.
Further details on the outcome of Tuesday's primary and the eventual general election matchup were not immediately available.
