That race pits first-term incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) against two challengers from her party.<\/p>\n<p>Hassan, a former New Hampshire governor, is expected to move forward.

Now, they say, one party is likely to have a net gain of one seat, but it\u2019s not clear which is favored.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump has stayed oddly quiet on his pick in the New Hampshire Republican primary field.
