Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas and Republican challenger Karoline Leavitt are vying for support in next week's election in New Hampshire.
Fergus Cullen, a Dover City Councilor and former head of the New Hampshire GOP, joins NBC10 Boston's in-house experts Alison King and Sue O'Connell to discuss New Hampshire's top contested races, starting with incumbent Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan and Republican challenger Don Bolduc, followed by the first congressional race between incumbent Democrat Rep. Chris Pappas and Republican challenger Karoline Leavitt.
Pappas, 42, would benefit by focusing on Leavitt's anti-abortion position and her connections with Donald Trump, including her false claims that he won the 2020 election. "It's probably the most pro-choice swing state in the country," said Saint Anselm College professor Chris Galdieri."Her campaign, from the start, was based on being the Trumpiest possible voice in the Republican primary," Galdieri said."She was not just flirting with election denialism, she was all in on that from the start."
Incumbents generally have an advantage, but New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District is known for switching parties every two to four years. "People are willing to change their mind," Galdieri said."It can go blue, it can go red, very much in keeping with national trends."
