MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Candidates for U.S. Senate Republican Don Bolduc and Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) met for their third and final debate Wednesday night, where they made their closing arguments in the race that could decide which party controls the Senate next term.
Bolduc, a retired Army general, targeted Hassan's voting record as leading to the"heating and eating" issues that are hurting Granite State voters, while Hassan defended her bipartisan record. The race has tightened considerably in the last month, with the most recent poll showing Bolduc with a 1-point lead. Here are five takeaways from the last debate:1."Heating and eating" issues take center stage.
Moderators pointed out that he initially said the members of Congress who certified the election for Biden did the right thing, then later signed a letter with other retired generals questioning the results. Before the August primary, he said he stood by the letter but afterward said the election was not stolen.
Bolduc agreed, acknowledging,"Well, you know, I think the senator has made some very great points. And I'm really sorry for what happened to the speaker's husband. Nobody should have that happen to them anywhere in America, but it's a sign of the times." "It's a very important issue, and that's why it's a state rights issue, and it's an issue that me and my opponent will not be dealing with in the United States Senate," he said in response to the first question of the debate."And that's as simple as I can state. It is a state issue. I agree with the state law, and I will support that. That's the end of what I have to say about it.
