Five major Republican contenders in New Hampshire will face off against one another on Tuesday in hopes of challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan in November’s general election. And it’s the one who has raised comparatively little who may come out on top tomorrow.
Bolduc has a commanding lead in the polls, but is at a major disadvantage compared to Morse in fundraising. Since the beginning of the year, Morse raised about $1.6 million — nearly triple the amount Bolduc raised . As of Aug. 24, Bolduc only has $84,000 cash on hand, while Morse has about $500,000 more than that. Over 40% of Bolduc’s funds have come from small individual contributions of less than $200 — compared to Morse’s 3%.
Sununu endorsed Morse on Friday, calling him a “principled conservative” and “the only Republican Senate candidate who can take on Maggie Hassan and win in November.” Morse’s campaign has also received contributions from the governor’s brother, former Sen. John E. Sununu, and former U.S. Rep. Charles Douglas III.
It’s not Bolduc’s first primary go-around either — in 2020, Bolduc launched an unsuccessful Senate bid to replace Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen but lost in the primary. This year, however, he has got a better shot at securing the GOP nomination. “Even though he hasn’t had the money, I think he has adopted a grassroots strategy, which, you know, traditionally, we always say New Hampshire voters respond to grassroots politicking,” Scala said. “And this just might be the ultimate example of that if he wins” the primary.
