2022 New Hampshire Senate Race Update

Chris Sununu Declines Senate Bid

Governor Delivers Blow to Republican Hopes

Chris Sununu, the 82nd governor of New Hampshire, has announced that he will not run for the United States Senate in 2022. This decision comes as a disappointment to Republicans, who had hoped that Sununu would challenge Democratic incumbent Maggie Hassan.

Sununu's decision follows months of speculation and courtship by Republican strategists, who believed that he would have been a strong candidate against Hassan. However, Sununu has cited personal and family reasons for his decision to remain in his current post.

The withdrawal of Sununu from the race is a significant setback for Republicans, who are now facing an uphill battle to regain control of the Senate. Hassan is a popular incumbent, and the Republican field of potential candidates is relatively weak.
