I wouldn't be surprised if Kelly Ayotte runs.
Supposedly, she wanted to run for governor in 2022 if Sununu ran for senate, but had no interest in returning to the senate.
Not sure if she would win a primary in todays GOP.
Agreed, it seems like Ayotte is gearing up to run if Sununu doesn’t. Ayotte would probably be the GOP’s best candidate for the general election if Sununu declines to run, but I’m also not confident she’d win the primary.
Agreed as well. If she wins the primary though, I'd start out with a Lean Republican rating.
Why? As senator she didn't have any kind of crossover appeal and she ended up losing by 0.1 point, not overperforming Trump in the slightest
