New Hampshire voters head to the polls for primary elections to nominate U.S. Senate candidates
New Hampshire voters are heading to the polls on Tuesday for the state's primary elections. The primary includes a key U.S. Senate race to replace retiring Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen. In the Democratic race, Chris Pappas is the front-runner to secure the nomination. He faces a challenge from Karishma Manzur, a scientist and democratic socialist who has gained ground in recent polls. On the Republican side, former Senator John Sununu is the favorite to secure the nomination over former Senator Scott Brown. Sununu has the endorsement of President Trump, who stated that Sununu will work tirelessly to advance the America First Agenda. The administration announced that U.S. Department of Justice election observers will visit polling locations in Manchester and Nashua to monitor for potential violations of election security. These observers are subject to the same rules as any other public observer and do not have special authority to cross beyond the guardrail where votes are cast. Local officials in Manchester and Nashua do not anticipate any issues with the federal monitors.
