Maggie Hassan (D., N.H.) in a tight general election, <i>Politico<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/09\/02\/dem-super-pac-republican-new-hampshire-senate-primary-00054690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>. Morse will face off in a primary election Tuesday against Don Bolduc, a retired Army general who has drawn controversy over his criticism of Gov. Chris Sununu (R.), as well as his claim that former president Donald Trump &#8220;won&#8221; the 2020 presidential election. Morse&#8217;s campaign said Democrats are attempting to meddle in the Republican primary to boost Hassan&#8217;s chances in November.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maggie Hassan and her dark money allies just confirmed they know what we&#8217;ve known all along\u2014Chuck Morse is surging in the polls and is the best-positioned candidate to defeat her this November,&#8221; Morse campaign spokeswoman Maya Harvey told the <i>Washington Free Beacon<\/i>. &#8220;Chuck Schumer can throw as many daggers as he wants, but Chuck Morse is a career volunteer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Neither Bolduc&#8217;s campaign nor the Senate Majority PAC responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The ad campaign marks Democrats&#8217; latest effort to boost pro-Trump candidates over establishment-backed competitors in Republican primaries nationwide. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in August helped launch Trump-endorsed candidate John Gibbs to victory over Rep. Peter Meijer (R., Mich.), who voted to impeach Trump. The Democratic Governors Association similarly boosted pro-Trump candidates to victory in tight gubernatorial primaries in Maryland and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>The ad-buy follows Democrats&#8217; efforts to interfere in the state&#8217;s Republican congressional primary. A Democratic mail shop distributed flyers that promote Bob Burns, a pro-Trump Republican candidate in the state&#8217;s Second Congressional District, the <i>New Hampshire Journal<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/nhjournal.com\/dem-shop-drops-anonymous-mail-boosting-burns-in-nh-02-gop-primary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>. A Democratic PAC <a href=\"https:\/\/nhjournal.com\/dems-double-down-on-backing-for-burns-in-nh-02-gop-primary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spent<\/a> $100,000 on a TV ad that similarly promotes Burns.<\/p>\n<p>While Democrats set their sights on Morse, a Republican super PAC is spending $3.5 million in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/08\/31\/republican-super-pac-2-million-new-hampshire-senate-primary-00054402\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support<\/a> of Morse, who trails Bolduc in Republican primary polls.<\/p>\n<p>Hassan&#8217;s campaign has focused on her supposed bipartisan approach to Congress, a position <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/i-dont-buy-the-bipartisan-talk-new-hampshire-voters-reject-dems-campaign-message\/\">complicated<\/a> by her record.
