In a race that could decide the fate of the Senate, Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan is facing retired Army Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc, a Republican who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen.
as an outsider, arguing if he's sent to Washington, he's not going to be a career politician. At a rally with supporters recently in Rochester, he homed in on a message that framed the race as a fight against President Biden as much as it is against Hassan. He spoke about what he's heard from small businesses still recovering from the pandemic, saying,"they are making their way back and then, boom, down comes the hammer from the Biden-Hassan agenda, which skyrockets inflation.
Haley also tied Hassan to Biden on issues like the cost of home heating and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, which Haley blasted as a failure. Meanwhile, Hassan is quick to point out Bolduc's earlier statements on abortion, saying this is one area that earns him the label of"extreme." She said her supporters believe the issue of abortion is no less important than inflation."You know, as I started to talk with women about inflation, they all changed the subject to abortion." She added,"for some people it is, you know, a concern about whether they're gonna be able to pay rent and put food on the table.
In her pitch to voters and in an interview with NPR, Hassan pointed to her accomplishments — and the fact many bills she passed were bipartisan."I have a record delivering on a number of issues, doing it across party lines, and doing it the way Granite Staters expect me to." "I'll go to Washington, D.C., to be your United States senator and work on the real problems that Americans and Granite Staters are having right now."

J.D. Vance is not perfect, but he’ll help stop a progressive Senate takeover: Ted DiadiunWithout a filibuster in the way, Democrats would be undeterred in redefining or expanding the Supreme Court, whose recent decisions returning the judiciary to its constitutional role have displeased so many of them. In the Ohio Senate race, you don’t have to like J.D. Vance, whose skepticism about the integrity of the 2020 election, stated lack of concern about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and shoot-from-the-hip style are justifiably concerning. But if you send Tim Ryan instead and the Democrats take control of the Senate, the results will be far worse, and much longer-lasting, writes Ted Diadiun in his column today.
