Sununu, Brown Lead New Hampshire GOP Senate Primary
The former senators are leaning on name recognition and comeback campaigns as Democrats field younger and more progressive contenders.
- On Tuesday, New Hampshire voters will choose between Former Sen. John Sununu and Former Sen. Brown in the Republican Senate primary, bucking national anti-establishment trends with two comeback candidates.
- Sununu and Brown are among 27 former members of Congress mounting comeback campaigns this year. Sununu frequently faces voter confusion with his younger brother, Chris, whose eight-year tenure as governor ended last year.
- President Donald Trump endorsed Sununu in February, though Brown served as his ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa. Despite the endorsement, Trump remains a largely peripheral figure in this race, according to university political experts.
- Democratic primary voters reflect an anti-establishment trend, contrasting sharply with Republican focus on familiar names. Research scientist Karishma Manzur and four-term Rep. Chris Pappas both cast themselves as fighters against corruption.
- November Tuesday's general election will test the Republican nominee against national demands for a course correction. Voters have expressed desire for stability, with some supporting candidates based on proven experience and background.
