NH-SEN 2022 Megathread: General Dysfunction

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Would Hassan be considered DOA at this point after voting against the $15 dollar minimum wage?

But a Republican would vote against it too. Would Hassan beat Corey Lewandowski?

Corey seems too pro-Trump to win any election there outside of a local race in the rural parts of the state. Maybe Sununu beats her (albeit narrowly), but outside of him, I don't think there's much for her to worry about outside of a progressive/pro $15 primary challenger.

Which would be an underdog, all other things being equal.

[Real Texan Politics]

What are the odds of Corey Lewandowski winning the GOP primary?

He'll definitely have an easier job of getting the MAGA base behind him, but Sununu seems too popular for Lewandowski to beat. Could definitely have the potential to be a competitive primary though.

If Sununu doesn't run, isn't Lewandowski heavily favored to be the nominee if he runs?

I think so. Doesn't mean he'll beat Hassan though.

I can't imagine him beating Hassan. A recent poll showed him losing to Hassan by double digits.

[Left Wing]

Would Hassan be considered DOA at this point after voting against the $15 dollar minimum wage?

No, neither in the primary nor the general.

[KaiserDave]

Would Hassan be considered DOA at this point after voting against the $15 dollar minimum wage?

No?

Uhhh...Why.....?

[SnowLabrador]

Would Hassan be considered DOA at this point after voting against the $15 dollar minimum wage?

It doesn't help her chances.

[MargieCat]

If Trump really wanted to sabotage the GOP and get revenge on Mitch, he'd slander Sununu and endorse Lewandowski for this race, getting Lewandowksi the nomination.

It doesn't help her chances.

Yeah I will never understand who is consulting these ppl to vote unpopular policies just so they can call themselves a "moderate"

I think her inability to clearly articulate what moves her and what her agenda is will make her very vulnerable to Sununu, but sadly not in a primary. Tossup w/o him, Lean R w/

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Would Hassan be considered DOA at this point after voting against the $15 dollar minimum wage?

No, because it wasn't passing anyway.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Would Hassan be considered DOA at this point after voting against the $15 dollar minimum wage?

No. As much as I'd love everyone in my state to vote like me, the good people of NH don't vote like me.

[BudgieForce]

Would Hassan be considered DOA at this point after voting against the $15 dollar minimum wage?

I don't think so.

Hassan's biggest threat right now is the moderate republican governor who is going to attack her for being too liberal.

[Greedo punched first]

Likely D if Sununu loses the primary or doesn't run.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Hassen is gonna lose If she faces Sununu, Sununu vetoed the minimum wage and she voted Against the Minimum wage, I hope it was worth it Hassan, bye

[MT Treasurer]

This is some Manchin-tier stuff

“While the governor had serious concerns that more than half of the spending in the relief package wasn’t targeted to COVID, he considers the call to refuse the stimulus money to be foolish,” said Sununu spokesperson Ben Vihstadt.

“Rejecting these funds would only ensure that California, New York and New Jersey would make out with even more of New Hampshire taxpayer dollars. The governor will always find innovative, financially-sound ways to put federal funds to use.”

Scott and Sununu are generally on good terms, so I wouldn’t be surprised if (at the very least) part of this was staged.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Don't MT Treasurer know better that Maggie Hassan is gonna bring in reinforcements in Jeanne Shaheen to campaign for her, Shaheen has not lost a race before and will be recruited to help out Hassan, Biden won NH by seven and in 600 days Hassan with help of Shaheen will win by seven

He should know better about Shaheen and Hassan relationship, it's the same as Fetterman and Bob Casey Jr

Ehhhh, it won't matter. Sununu is a popular governor, Hassan's approvals are middling, and if normal midterm dynamics repeat, 2022 would be at least a somewhat R leaning year, couple that with the fact that NH usually swings by more than the national environment, and you could have a situation, where Hassan faces quite an uphill battle.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Sununu is popular as Gov, he is at 46 percent in the polls against Hassan, that isn't gonna cut it in 600 days

He has to win at 50 percent not 46 percent

[S019]

It becomes much easier for Sununu to win the undecideds than Hassan if 2022 ends up being an R favored year, which it probably will be, as he can mostly just coast based on the national environment.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I would also add that 2014 Shaheen was in the same position as HASSAN against Scott Brown, and Brown was just as popular as Sununu and look what happened in an Obama Midterms, Brown lost, it's too early to determine a race that will be very close

600 days or less

Oh, this was definitely staged. Sununu is just as right-wing as the rest of them.

More socially liberal though. Probably what helps him get elected in New Hampshire anyways.

On the other hand I think he’s the only northeastern republican governor to endorse Trump?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Just remember the Scott Brown effect, in 2014, popular moderate trying to defeat an INCUMBENT Senator Shaheen and he lost, Hassan isn't losing

Same with Sununu popular moderate trying to defeat an INCUMBENT
