In case you missed it, Chris
Pappas and Karishma Manzur clashed in their last Democrat primary debate for
New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate seat.
From foreign policy to
housing to immigration, the candidates offered two different visions for
America.
New polls
show Pappas is losing significant ground to his socialist challenger, setting
up what could be another establishment takedown on Tuesday.
What they are saying…
Concord Monitor: Support for
Pappas dwindles in U.S. Senate race as GOP, progressive challengers climb in
the polls
"For the first time,
polling from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center found that the
Republican favorite, John E. Sununu, could have an edge in their potential
matchup this fall. Sununu led Pappas, 45% to 43%, among survey respondents in an
Aug. 26 report."
"But Pappas’s
progressive challenger, Exeter scientist and Democratic Socialists of America
member Karishma Manzur, is steadily closing the gap in the Democratic
primary."
NH Journal: Manzur’s
Anti-Israel Obsession Dominates Dem Senate Debate
“Granite Staters who watched
Friday night’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary debate on WMUR came away with one
clear message from progressive Karishma Manzur: Whatever you do — don’t vote
for Benjamin Netanyahu.
"And whether the
question was about housing, border security, or American military personnel,
she returned to Netanyahu as part of the problem."
NHPR: NH’s Senate
race: A buzzy primary getting national attention
"Until recently, Rep. Chris Pappas’ nomination for this race seemed like a sure thing — after all, of his last dozen bids for office, he’s only lost once. But in recent weeks, first-time candidate Karishma Manzur has quickly closed the gap, attacking Pappas’ “big money” campaign and backing by pro-Israel donors. Her momentum comes as progressive candidates across the country are successfully upending establishment Democrats, and raises the question of just how close the margin will be Tuesday."
WMUR: Pappas,
Manzur offer differing visions in Democratic US Senate debate
"U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas
and scientist Karishma Manzur clashed several times in Friday night's debate as
each sought to convince voters they are the best choice for the Democratic
nomination for U.S. Senate."
"The candidates offered clearly different approaches to how they would address the big issues facing the country."
