Chris pappas in the upcoming Democratic primary for the New Hampshire Senate seat, just eight days before the primary elections. Harris\u2019s support highlights her focus on midterm campaigns as she considers a potential 2028 presidential bid. pappas, who is leading in the primary polls and has received numerous endorsements, is competing against socialist karishma Manzur. Some other Democratic candidates, like Mary Peltola in Alaska and Iowa\u2019s Josh Turek, have distanced themselves from Harris\u2019s campaign efforts. The republican race features candidates such as Scott Brown and John Sununu, with Senator Jeanne Shaheen retiring, leaving the seat open. Harris\u2019s endorsement is notable in New Hampshire, a state she narrowly won in 2024, and her backing extends to other Democrats like Jon Ossoff and Abdul el Sayed. Though, some Democrats prefer to avoid Harris\u2019s involvement. The primary race is expected to be competitive, with the Democratic side focusing on ensuring victory against Republican contenders.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Vice President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"748\">Kamala Harris<\/a> lent her support to Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chris-pappas\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"11726\">Chris Pappas<\/a> (D-NH) on Monday as he prepares to face other Democratic primary challengers running for an open Senate seat in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-hampshire\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"572\">New Hampshire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c@KamalaHarris has stood tall for democracy and is committed to making this country fairer and freer for all,\u201d Pappas <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChrisPappasNH\/status\/2094374744787198160\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChrisPappasNH\/status\/2094374744787198160\">wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cShe knows the stakes couldn\u2019t be higher here in New Hampshire, and I\u2019m proud to have her on Team Pappas.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/4702374\/trump-faces-warning-signs-among-women-ahead-of-midterm-elections-poll\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump faces warning signs among women ahead of midterm elections: Poll<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/4701548\/ro-khanna-democrats-stop-wasting-time-hasan-piker\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Ro Khanna urges Democrats to \u2018stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/4701131\/gop-appeal-campaign-finance-supreme-court\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>GOP appeals campaign finance setback to Supreme Court<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The high-profile endorsement arrived eight days before New Hampshire\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"8765\">Senate<\/a> primary elections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pappas, considered the best-known candidate in the Democratic primary, has received <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/chrispappas.org\/endorsements\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/chrispappas.org\/endorsements\/\">numerous endorsements<\/a> from labor unions and abortion-rights groups in the Granite State.
