Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas beat Republican John Sununu in the race for New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate seat.
Sununu has previous experience in the Senate, having won a seat in 2002, defeating then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat. Shaheen defeated Sununu in their 2008 rematch.
During this year’s primary, Sununu beat another former senator, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, who in 2010 won a special election to finish out the term of the late Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy.
President Donald Trump backed Sununu during his primary despite Sununu’s endorsement of Trump rival Nikki Haley in the 2024 election.
Pappas was his party’s clear frontrunner during the primary, gathering the support of high-profile Democrats including Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), former Gov. John Lynch, and former Vice President Kamala Harris….
