RNC Statement Ahead of New Hampshire Senate Debate

Tonight, Chris Pappas and Karishma Manzur face off in a debate as Pappas is losing ground in the polls.

“Chris Pappas is a weak candidate who has been nothing but a good soldier for national Democrats and is now floundering in the polls, struggling to survive his primary. As Pappas races to the left, Granite Staters can clearly see that Pappas will sell them out if it means saving his own skin.” – RNC Spokesperson Kristen Cianci

Background

Chris Pappas is a weak candidate who has bowed down to the radical left and national Democrats at the expense of Granite Staters. As a reminder, Pappas:

• Is down in back-to-back polls against Republicans. He is also losing ground in his primary
• Voted against condemning socialism
• Stayed silent on Graham Platner until he became a political liability
• Voted for higher taxes
• Voted to defund the police
• Caused the longest government shutdown in history
• Has relied on out-of-state Democrats to boost his failing campaign and wants to bring back the failed Biden/Harris agenda

Meanwhile, Karishma Manzur is making the case that she is the “real” Democrat and that Pappas is out-of-touch. Manzur:

• Is endorsed by the Progressive Democrats of America
• Has accused America of “terrorizing the world”
• Is all in on socialist health care which she claims is “fiscally responsible” against all evidence
• Blamed the “climate crisis” for rising housing costs in New Hampshire
• Accused Israel of committing genocide
