Former U.S. Senator John E. Sununu is campaigning to reclaim his former Senate seat in New Hampshire, running against Democratic Representative Chris Pappas. Sununu, who previously served in the Senate from 2003 to 2009, is utilizing his family's political legacy to promote a brand of conservative normalcy. Current polling indicates a close contest, with Pappas maintaining a lead.
To navigate a challenging national environment for Republicans, Sununu is emphasizing his reputation for independence and directness. Although President Donald Trump has endorsed his candidacy, Sununu has distanced himself from the president, claiming he has never really spoken to him.
Other midterm developments include a tied Senate race in South Carolina between Darline Graham and Annie Andrews. In Alaska, the Senate race has become contested following allegations that Democratic operatives recruited spoiler candidates to engage in ballot-stacking. President Trump has responded to these allegations by directing the Justice Department to block the certification of the Alaska race.
