joining us now, is senator maggie hassan herself of the great state of new hampshire. an, thank you for being with us. >> thank you so much for having me, alex. >> so, first of all, jen adorable looks as he has been talking to residents, people across the granite state, and he is determined the 2020 election wasn't stolen. who has even talking to? as we've been talking to you? is this strategy going to work? >> look, on issue after issue, don bullock is incredibly extreme, whether it is election denial, or whether it is his support for national abortion ban. he is trying to mislead it granite state or's, and really hide his extreme record. the thing is, new hampshire voters are some of the most informed in the country and the fact that he can get away with this, that he is trying to do, it is not only really concerning, it is very disrespectful to my constituents. >> does that also call attention to, i mean, his desire to paint you as a turncoat, as a liar, as a wolf in sheep's clothing, i mean, i'm not going to comment on the actual essence of that. but does it not ris

. >> chuck schumer is spending $6 million against me and maggie hassan is spending $6 million against me to make sure i don't run against her. it is clear that i can beat her. >> hassan says no matter who wins today's primary she doesn't see a difference. she is already branding whoever her opponent is as extreme. >> who would you rather face? >> both of them are very extreme and way out of step with new hampshire. >> today hassan also said that both bolduc and morse she sees as extremist and doesn't have a preference who she faces. >> harris: she has to say that because she lives there. can you imagine being at the grocery store and having somebody come up as a democrat why are you spending month en to help the other guy? what is she going to say? she pays for her groceries. sticky position. thank you. pete hegseth co-host of "fox & friends" weekend. pete, that has put democrats on the ground in a stuck place to have washington, d.c. heads spending money through their pacs and such to help people across the aisle. >> it's sheer political cynicism and they don't believe their rhetoric

one of the things that maggie hassan the senate incumbent will say is you are an election denier andon the 2020 election and there is this from august 14th when you had a debate. watch here. >> i signed a letter with 120 other generals and admirals saying that trump won the election and damn it i stand by that. >> do you stand by that today? >> so, you know, we -- we live and learn, right? i've done a lot of research on this and i spent the past couple of weeks talking to granite staters all over the state from every party and i have come to the conclusion -- i want to be definitive on this. the election was not stolen. was there fraud? yes. is that a concern of granite staters all over the state? yes, there is. is there a responsibility for public servants and elected positions to insure that our citizens have faith in their voting system? yes. but elections have consequences. unfortunately, president biden is the legitimate president of this country and he is ruining it, along with maggie hassan. that's the takeaway here. they want to bring us back to 2020. i want to move us forwar

maggie hassan, i will have more to say about their leadership, is so great to have you and your wonderfulamily here. thank you for everything you do in the united states senate. you can feel the energy in this room, you can feel the energy meeting the candidates. your house and senate candidates, local leaders, i'm so tempted to say a word about so many of the friendly faces, but i know i'm going to get in trouble here so let me just say to all of you, on so inspired by your civic energy and i'm sure that you are going to be winning up and down the ticket after seeing how much support there is for you here tonight. you are making good on something we used to talk about a lot when i was running for president, and i'm here now bringing greetings from another president, it is so important as a party that we never get caught treating the presidency like it is the only party that matters. you know how much power is in those local and state and those other offices. and of course congratulations to the inspiring award winners tonight. i've been reminded just coming back here, having a lot of fla

how does it work for somebody like maggie hassan?. there is a 24-week rule here in place. nothing has changed at all because of the dobbs. other states it's more extreme and having real fights over it. here it is business as usual. it is not an issue that will drive the independents to the polls because there is not a fundamental shift in it. what there has been a fundamental shift is inflation and gas prices and the cost of electric electricity and food. those are the things that will drive people to the polls in november. >> bill: we'll see what happens later tonight. thanks for coming back. >> dana: take care. >> appreciate it. >> dana: lets he go to battleground pennsylvania where senate candidate john fetterman is under fire from the left leaning "washington post" editorial board writing that fetterman must release his medical records and debate challenger dr. oz before early voting begins. chief washington correspondent mike emanuel joins us on this. >> pressure coming from an unlikely source. the "washington post" expressing c

senator maggie hassan who david mentioned, her seat to be a big flip with the g.o.p. an is criticizing over the border crisis, loan hand-outs and more. chris pappas hit biden for his semi fascist remarks. you said that word again, jason, fascism. the pair joining other democrats shunning biden and his team on the campaign trail and that word is a problem. david. >> democratic party has outspent republicans by millions. and yet in every single competitive race we are still within the margin of error. it's driven a lot by new hampshire is a big indicator of this. independents still favor republicans over democrats and little to see it changing between now and november. >> harris: jason. >> yeah, i agree with maggie hassan and what she was saying about border patrol agents, needing more border patrol agents. support and technology in addition to the biden administration securing 1.1 billion dollars from mexico to help with the issue. i think that there are a lot of things that democrats need to work harder on in addition to a lot of the victories that they've had recently

>> what is clear in the last election i am the candidate that can beat maggie hassan. caught up with democrats here in new hampshire fighting to keep their seats. senator maggie hassan and congressman chris pappas on the campaign trail over the weekend. they a attacked not just republicans they're running against but president joe biden. >> i think the administration was asleep at the switch when it came to managing inflation. >> i think the president was, took too long to really begin to tackle inflation. reporter: neil, we're here at sd country store in londonberry. i talked with the owner, tom. he brought out his energy bill and showed it is twice as high, twice as expensive as it has been in the past. he says this is actually the first election he is put up a sign for bolduc at the store. he marched in a parade for him. he has gotten political because this is the most fed up he has been so far. neil? neil: thank you for that, hillary, very, very much. to the state's very popular republican governor chris sununu right now who has gone ahead and put his name and clou

i think don bolduc can win against maggie hassan. we have chris sinuni.erschel walker is pulling ahead. i'd rather be us than them. i'm optimistic where the respect party is heading into the mid-terms. >> neil: it's interesting. we talked about the nbc poll there. the man that did the poll, a gop pollster. he said the following, this is a campaign about the economy, cost of living, crime and border security and republicans are winning this campaign. there's a second campaign on abortion, democracy and climate change. democrats are winning that campaign. it's interesting because i pulled out of there -- this is a campaign on abortion, democracy and climate change. how is the republican party allowing the democratic party to paint them as being threats to democracy over and over and it appears to be working? >> i don't think it is working. i think biden tried that with his death star speech, his doom and gloom trying to attack half of the country. it backfired on him. after that speech, we started to see independents and polls start shifting our way. voters

maggie hassan isn't addressing it.here to be found, hiding, lying, or commercials are deceiving. not only deceiving but they are outright lies. when i go around to the moms and dads and retirees and veterans here in the state, they are hurting to make ends meet. i'm the one that's out there. i'm the one convincing them that changes on the way, that help is on the way. but you need to invest in change. if you continue to send the same person down there, you're going to get the same result. her percentages are 100% with biden, 96% with chuck schumer. look where it's got us. high inflation. we are border state. 200% increase in the opioid crisis. mental health crisis, homeless veterans. >> laura: is the republican establishment in your mind at this point where they'd rather lose with a democrat than win with the more america first republican? that's what i'm concerned about some of these races. >> i think a lot of people are concerned about that in new hampshire. i've been traveling around, going to the different g.o.p. e

he'll run against democrat maggie hassan in november. she lost last general election by 1,000 votes. the most recent polls this summer had her four points ahead of the general that, race may be a little too close for comfort. now we can spend all night reading the tea leaves about what the primaries mean for november and for the state of the country. but here's the thing. a total of 92,000 people voted last night's democratic senate primary in new hampshire. when you have a fringe candidate running against the establishment candidate, the president of the state senate, the guy named chuck more ieven in a hotly contested matchup like that. only 140,000 people voted. new hampshire is a small state. it paints a clear picture. in 2020, 800,000 people voted the general election. in the last midterm, back in 2018, nearly 6 hub hundred,000 people did. so as much as we can analyze the 230,000 people who collectively voted new hampshire primaries last night, is that really a good predictor of anything? after all, those are the people who really p

never had to try to cross over into anything. >> don bullock is only running for points behind maggie hassan, so maybe carried a fake shield so maybe carried a fake shield who knows? it's a mad, mad world. thank you, chris. great show. >> you bet. >> and thank you all for joining us this hour. consider what happened officer the space of just three days in january of last year. three events on three consecutive days that continue to shape our politics right up until this very moment. on january 5th of last year in georgia, two rp senators ran off for these united states senate which handed control to the democrats. the next day, january 6th, we know what happened that day. and then the day after that, on january 7th, back in georgia, election systems in rural

maggie hassan, it's a tough state.helps her in the suburb where's the votes are. >> this is about whether you take rights away from half of the population. and whether they are going to be in the examining room. >> thank you, senator graham. >> there's a reason democrats are fgleeful about this and forceful. they've seen it in the numbers and in the kansas vote. up in upstate new york. o other elections since the dobbs ruling. they feel they can go to the polls with this. it's charged moderate voters and some republican voters that aren't happy about that decision and aren't happy about republicans. >> and the data says it helps the democrats. we don't know if it will in november. some think that it could be so overwhelming, it could be a surprise. you're from ohio, the democratic running for the ohio race in a democratic first midterm election year. thinking maybe this issue helps. >> without abortion, this baby wouldn't be on the way right now. mike dewine has banned abortion in ohio. i would have died without mine.

. >> i'm the candidate that can beat maggie hassan. >> they need an outsider. to the people of new hampshire. ♪ some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back. but asthma has taken enough. so i go triple... with trelegy. with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler,... it's the only once-daily treatment for adults that takes triple action against asthma symptoms. trelegy helps make breathing easier,... improves lung function,... and lasts for 24 hours. go triple... go trelegy. because asthma has taken enough. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler... for sudden breathing problems. trelegy contains a medicine that increases risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems when used alone. when this medicine is used with an inhaled corticosteroid,... like in trelegy,... there is not a significant increased risk of these events. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase risk of thrush and infections. get emergency care for serious allergic reactions. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. don't let asthma take another breat

. >> if bolduc wins he will face maggie hassan in november.his way in the senate he would vote to ban abortion nationwide. he is already debunking hassan's attacks. >> i will support no legislation, zero legislation at the federal level. we don't belong in the abortion arena. that is the states. and this state will do the right thing by granite state. >> why do you think she keeps pushing this abortion issue? >> it's the only thing she's got. >> and bill, former president trump did not weigh in in this race leaving it up to republicans to decide. looks like they decided not to play it safe. >> bill: very interesting. going to get great analysis. hillary, thank you. >> dana: let's bring in former house speaker newt gingrich. interesting that maggie hassan would say that general bolduc is such an extremist when it was democrats, we have this here. senate majority placed 2.3 million in attack ads of democratic fundraising money to try to elect bolduc because they said he was so extreme. >> well, you know, interesting in terms of the hypocrisy of

bolduc will now face incumbent democratic senator maggie hassan in the november election. take a closer look at the election landscape, later in the program. the founder of outdoor apparel maker patagonia is giving away his $3 billion company to help fight climate change. billionaire yvon chouinard and family members transferred their ownership to a special trust and non-profit organization, whose profits will be funneled to global conservation. still to come on the "newshour," the many investigations surrounding former president trump intensify. a new report details the devastating economic impact of rising sea levels for property owners. an iowa teen who admitted to killing her rapist is ordered to pay $150,000 to the man's family. and much more. >> this is the "pbs newshour" from weta studios in washington and in the west from the walter cronkite school of journalism at arizona state university. amna: the ukrainian counteroffensive continues today at great pace across eastern and southern ukraine. president zelenskyy and top members of his war council visited troops and

we saw it in maggie hassan's ad.hat issue, bret. >> and democrats around the country are really jumping on lindsey graham's proposal for a nationwide abortion ban after 15 weeks. every democrat it seems like is jumping on this issue seeing it as ripe. it is important to point out that inflation, the economy, illegal immigration in this poll far surpasses abortion. it's interesting that that falls into the oz policy basket. we'll see how this plays out. but clearly dr. oz wants to focus on the policy differences between himself and lieutenant governor fetterman, specifically on crime and also on taxes and, you know, specific policy differences left and right. >> martha: yeah. that would be obviously -- he will be questioned on that in the debate. on those issues, on very -- a lot of criminal reform that he's interested in in pennsylvania that is seen as highly controversial. it's clear also that the fetter man team, bret, wants to ask dr. oz if he would support that graham 15-week ban. that will be sort of a very clea

mad maggie hassan isn't ggaddressing that. she's nowhere to be found. she's hiding. she's lying. her commercials are deceiving, not only deceiving, but t but when i they outright lies. and so when i go around to the moms and dads and retirees and veterans here in this state, they are hurting to make ends meet.that's out t here.i'm the one that's out the. i'm the one convincing themchane that changs e is on the way, tht help is on the way, and thathebu you needt to invest in change n you continue to send the samesae person down there, you're goinge to get the same result.su and her percentages are 100% percent with biden. 96% with chuck schumer.h and look where that's gottion us high inflation. we're now a border state high. two hundred percent increase in the opioid crisis, mental health crisis, homeless veterans is thmelesse republican establishment in your mind at this point where they'd rather lose with it,mocrt with a democrat than win with a more america first republican ? >> that's what i'm concernedou about in some of these races. i think a lot of people are are concerned

you sent the biggest signal to the establishment. >> reporter: senator maggie hassan only gearing upment, if don bulldog had his way in the senate he would vote to ban abortion nationwide, don bulldog is too extreme for new hampshire but bulldog tells me he doesn't support nationwide abortion ban. >> i will support no legislation, 0 legislation at the federal level. we don't belong in the abortion arena. that is the states. we will do the right thing by that. >> reporter: why do you think she keeps pushing this abortion issue? >> it is the only thing she has got. >> reporter: important to note donald trump did not endorse anyone in these races but he is separating the fact that the trumpest won but granite stateers made up their own minds and they chose not to play it safe by going with the moderate in the race. neil: thank you for all of that. we have more coming up including the latest on the ongoing, looking back at the life of the queen and get ready for the king to come so interesting to balance on the family, we will ask piers morgan what he makes of that after this. ♪ e're cru

maggie hassan does too. >> he's done the opposite of defunding the mis. media folk have decided it's a case of republican fear mongering. an article in "the new york times" reading, quote: republicans are intensifying their focus op on crime to capitalize on some voters' fears about safety. a return to sometimes deceptive or raciallity vasive messaging. the latest opinion polls showed crime topping the list of voter concerns just five weeks before election day. let's take it up with our panel. tammy, is this a case of republicans pouncing, or is it more a legitimate issue being driven by facts on the ground? >> clearly, facts on the ground. and not just things that make national news. this is affecting daily life for americans in many, many cities, certainly blue cities. a lot of this stuff doesn't make the news, things that in new york do. they're shocking, like the video that the viewer just saw, these random attacks but also, still, attacks on the police. the fact is it's also insulting when "the new york times" expresses effectively if you're worried

the winner of the race will face incumbent democratic senator maggie hassan in november. meanwhile, former trump staffer karoline leavitt has won the republican primary in new hampshire's first congressional district. the 25-year-old has also claimed trump won the 2020 election. she defeated another former trump aide, matt mowers, who had been endorsed by prominent republicans, including house minority leader kevin mccarthy. according to the website 538.com, there will be about 200 republicans on the ballot in november who have fully denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election. on capitol hill, democrat mary peltola has been sworn in as alaska's new representative in congress after she beat sarah palin in a special election last month. peltola, who is yup'ik, is the first alaska native to serve in congress. >> it is the honor of my life to represent alaska, a place my elders and ancestors have called home for thousands of years, where to this day many people in my community carry forward our traditions of hunting and fishing. i am humbled and ably honored to be the first a

the incumbent takes on maggie hassan. some republican leaders worry a boll luck. carol leavitt, a former aid, one her laf can pray maris. she so to speak. chris sununu prevailed in his primary. he's not a donald trump acolyte. he is separate from the other can't leaving. >>> the boston police are searching two boxes. officials haven't said how the packages arrived at the virtual reality center and they're investigating a possible motive. it contained a rambling note that criticized facebook found general mark zuckerberg and the software developers and boat response. >> within minutes they are here taking care of all aspects of the investigation and ebb sure that everything one you was all right. this is of utmost security. >> they found a second package that was rendered at you 6 a.m. 1300 points, investors are anxious about inflation that stubbornly high. food costs over sever.7%. and aside from that, there is a rooming aisle pl strike and that could be a big strain on the economy. joining me are two correspondents. what's the possibility of the labor actions. >>

maggie hassen. i would point out in terms of spending, the senate leadership fund has reserved $23 million in spending against hassanng into election day. this is a late primary. there's about six or seven weeks between primary day and election day. maggie hassen will be under fire in these ads again and again to be held to account. joe biden won the state by seven points last time. she should have this going away. shows the vulnerability of these female candidates. among seven identified swing voters, it's high. she's got problems. >> martha: it's interesting to see who wins this and whether or not that candidate is electable. a lot of that will come back to who president trump supported or didn't support and we'll have that conversation when we get to it. before i let you go, you traveled to the united kingdom with president trump and you talked a little bit to me earlier how gracious queen elizabeth was to all of you. can you give us a quick thought on that before we go, kellyanne? >> i'm sure it's an experience that so many people have and been in her majesty's presence. i wentz on the state visit. the queen gav

new hampshire is seen as a possible pickup for republicans because they look at maggie hassan the incumbentt it's very vulnerable in new hampshire on a number of different fronts. the republican primary that was close right now. retired army general don bolduc against chuck morris, the state senate presidents, right now, we are about 400 votes separating the two. new hampshire doesn't have a ton of votes collectively as the state, it's not a big place. but you can see is we dig down into some of these counties, this is botox home and he campaigned there a lot, you see picked up the mic separation they are not in vote totals but in rockingham county, just a big dump of votes for chuck moore. overseeing here is a very tight race, 41% in. this will probably go for a while before we get a winner here. one of the interesting things about these races this time, as the story line that we've seen all across country, is that democrats have been spending money going for republicans, mega-republicans in some cases, who they think are more vulnerable against their democratic incumbents. new hampshire i

morris with just over a few thousand votes left to be competitive for the winner will face senator maggie hassan in november and what could be a deciding race for control of the sanity of pay attention to new hampshire. i think it's going to come down to it. also in the state, karoline leavitt, a former spokesperson for trump press conference, 25 years old, will now face congressman chris patten. >> carley: also new hampshire, kristin noonan easily won's g.o.p. primary but the same could not be said for rhode island governor dannel malloy keep your, he barely survived as democratic primary against several challenges including former cbs executive. in north carolina, another battleground state, democrats are outpacing republicans in request for absentee ballots were part of the 66,000 absentee ballots requested, 53% were requested by registered democrats and only 13% went to registered republican speaker sources tell fox news that the pattern is not unusual. however, despite democrats casting more absentee ballots in north carolina in 2020, donald trump still won the state by almost 100,000 votes

this is high stakes because the democratic senator maggie hassan is seen as fairly vulnerable if thein over independents and moderate voters come the general election. don bolduc has been getting in a fight with popular centers governor chris sununu, calling of a communist sympathizer. sununu fired back calling bolduc and conspiracy theorist extremist. so, there is a lot of that blood in this race. and the senate could hang in the balance. >> john, there are also two former trump staffers facing off a congressional seat there, what's up with that? >> yeah, this is a fascinating one. take a look at the first district. this is a fight between two trump administration alumni, karoline leavitt and matt mowers. karoline leavitt was an assistant in the press office, 25 years old, really playing to the base, election denying, saying joe biden should be in peach. that mowers, former state department administrator, he's a guy who had the endorsement of kevin mccarthy. well karoline leavitt has the endorsements of lauren boebert and others of the world. right now, with 36% of the vote in, but

the winner will take on incumbent democrat maggie hassan in november.re's first congressional district, cnn projects karoline leavitt will win the republican primary to take on incumbent democrat chris pappas. leavitt says the 2020 election was stolen from donald trump, and joe biden should be impeached. while, the u.s. justice department is now examining nearly every aspect of donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. that is according to numerous sources, and copious subpoenas obtained by cnn. they show prosecutors are interested in a plot by team trump to install fake electors, efforts to push baseless election fraud claims, and where the money came from to support these schemes. joining me now ron brownstein is a senior cnn political analysis and a senior editor at the atlantic. always a pleasure to have you with us. >> hi rosemary, good to be with you. >> so, a federal judge has just unsealed new information from mar-a-lago affidavit that triggered the seizure of classified documents from donald trump's home, reveling links to human int

warnock in georgia, adam laxalt against cortez masto and dan bolduc who is taking on incumbent maggie hassane are the four democratic senators that if indeed they all hang on to their seats it's very tough for republicans to get the majority. they really need to win one or maybe two of these seats. i say that because take a look at these other four seats, the other bucket in the way i think about the senate race. these are places where democrats are hunting to pick up a republican seat and try to pad their majority, so mehmet oz against john fetterman, a republican held seat and ron johnson running against lieu lieutenant governor barns and the ter budd against share beazley and they are hoping in pennsylvania they can pick up a race and perhaps have a little bit of breathing room as they try to defend their majority. >> what's the influence of the men who are not on the ballot, president biden and former president trump? >> yeah. here are the two 70 somethings who are still a total force inside american politics for each of their parties. this is the way to look for and think about these tw

maggie hassan is one of them, running for reelection, democrat. a tough race. this is what she said from over the weekend on biden inflation. >> the president was -- took too long to really begin to tackle inflation. and i think we still have work to do on lowering energy costs. i think it is important in the inflation reduction act we stood up to big oil and giving tax cuts the families who invest in energy efficiency in their homes and pivoting away from our dependence on big and foreign oil to a green energy economy. >> bill: she is not the only one. democrats at new hampshire congressional district 1 are seeing a similar thing. >> it's a contradictory message. the first the president took too long to focus on inflation. the inflation reduction act, what is it? $307 billion to push american towards more expensive forms of energy. you will see as people start to see the price of this climate mania, it is not an inflation reducer. she mentioned the incentives. why do you need to give a big tax incentive to people to put a solar panel on their roof? it doesn't

election denier, right, they're don bolduc as their candidate to face off against democratic senator maggie hassanember new hampshire is just one of at least 27 states that are going to have election deniers on the ballot this fall, many of them running for offices that oversee or certify elections. let's get scared, and bring it pulitzer prize-winning journalist our friend jonathan capehart, associate editor of the washington post. and of course anchor of the sunday show right here on emerson nbc. and stuart stevens joins us to, a veteran of the mitt romney and george w. bush campaigns. he is now with the lincoln project. guys, let's get scared. what is at stake with election deniers on the ballot in key states, arizona, pennsylvania, michigan. jonathan, i turn to you first, right? the whole thought was, let's get these far right crazies on the ballot, they will be easy to beat, is that a good idea? >> you know, well, we will find out for sure, stephanie, in november. but i have been concerned that things have been so volatile in american politics for quite a while now that this is a gamble that

they say we've come up short, the face or will face ma maggie hassan the senator in november which couldntrolling of the senate of victory, and kristen nuno easily winning his primary. joined us earlier to talk about his campaign. >> what we do is ignore the politics as long as we can. just get as much stuff done without the political influence in the near run on the record of success. people love where we are in the statements not just me it's about building a good team around me as well. >> in rhode island governor barely survives his primary against challengers including helena books. this when you have to see to believe, three innovative new yorkers writing motorized lawn chairs, the best part they are all dressed in "mario kart" outfits. they even obeyed all traffic laws stopping at red lights, but it's a little unclear whether these lawn chairs are even legal to drive in the street. i say no. >> steve: that's so cool. >> ainsley: up so they need in london on the queue. >> i've seen that before downtown. i don't know if it's the same guy but i saw someone doing it but it was so funn

and there's kconcern he'll have trouble outraising maggie hassan.here's question whether he's the best person to put up in a general election. >> in this race, this is new hampshire, we have another example of an election denier winning the race, caroline levitt and matt mowers were both trump aides. levitt was in the trump style, more brash, aggressive, declared loudly the 2020 election was stolen and bashed mowers for saying i have faith, at least the new hampshire elections were administered well. she's 25 years old. but she was the trumpier candidate. >> 25 years old, gen z heads to congress if she wins. >> yes. this is another race, robert burns is the more trumpy candidate. you can see fewer than 1300 votes separate. but if burns turns out to win again and levitt does, we know that bolduc, that would be a clean sweep of election deniers or doubters showing republican primary voters that's who they want to see run, they want to see someone completely in line with trump, even when it comes to style. >> interesting who democrats want to see as no

maggie hassan was a shoe in, so to some degree that makes sense.epublican primary, when you had a fringe candidate like bullet running against the -- a guy named chuck morris, even in a hotly contested matchup like that. only 140,000 people voted. new hampshire is a small state, but still, when you compare those numbers to what we should expect in the general election, it paints a clear picture picture. in 20 28,000 people voted in the general election. in the last midterm back in 2018, nearly 600,000 people did. so as much as we can analyze those 230,000 people who collectively voted in the new hampshire primaries last night. it's not really a good predictor of anything? after all, those are the people who really pay attention to politics. the people who vote in primaries. and november is likely going to come down to some 400 to 600,000 people who did not vote last night, but might vote in november. from people who don't follow politics that closely, who don't vote in primaries. and if we're being honest, probably don't watch a lot of cable news.

hampshire there is a senate primary for the republican nomination to take on democratic senator maggie hassannd there was a debate last night and one of the subjects that came up in the debate because the process is so important in these things, is democratic spending that seems intended to boost the trumpier of the candidates. let's listen to what happened last night. >> washington, d.c. is trying to buy this seat. you have chuck schumer who is flooding the markets right now, the television markets, for don. >> washington, d.c. has no damn idea what they're doing once again and they're meddling in new hampshire politics. >> no, i think these third-party ads that are going negative are absolutely wrong. i mean, but where was everybody last week when chuck schumer came after me with $6 million? >> look, these races are getting federalized even in the primaries. republican senate spending a lot of money because they don't want him to be the nominee. someone who has fought with the republican governor. he's called him a conspiracy theorist. he called him a communist sympathizer. it's this pool o

maybe it's good strategy in terms of maggie hassan holding her seat. but what if they're elected?k this is just d there are still so many maga republicans who instead of talking about what's happening on the abortion front, as women have lost their rights, how we bring down prices for families, they want to still relitigate 2020 and impose a nationwide abortion ban. >> why are democrats supporting, putting money into their campaigns? >> i believe that these folks are very, very dangerous. and we have got to make it clear by november that this choice between democrats and republicans really is the choice between do you believe in an america where health care decisions are between a woman and her doctor? or do you believe that republicans in washington should be making that decision? do you believe in an america where we actually take on big pharma and beat 'em, where we actually bring down energy prices, where we actually try to make this country work better for working families. >> one thing you're trying to do for working families is bipartisan. >> yes. >> take a look at the fron

chris sununu would have been the best recruit to beat maggie hassan.want to stay in the senate in this environment. now we've got somebody who almost guarantees an uphill battle for republicans to flip that seat. also, new hampshire one, carolyn leavitt who worked for me. i was a matt mowers backer in this. he's someone who could have been a stronger general election candidate against chris papas. this further right caroline. >> i think it does folks almost a disservice to say they're trumpy. i mean, let's talk about what that means. that means election denial is a litmus test. that means the case of the new candidate who worked for you that thinks that joe biden should be impeached is true reflexively. in the case of this retired general, calling the incredibly popular chris sununu, the governor of the state, a communist sympathizer. we're talking, we're talking detached from reality as well as the vast majority of voters in new hampshire, where plurality voters are registered independents. >> and there was good turnout there. a lot of independents ma

reporter: in new hampshire, democrats are also trying to help senator maggie hassan win reelection. >> chuck morse, another sleazy politician. reporter: spending $3.2 million on republican primary ads attacking the moderate candidate as a mitch mcconnell acolyte. in a crowded field, the candidate closest to trump - don buldoc leads the polls. proponents of this strategy point to senat claire mccaskill's reelection victory over republican todd akin in 2012. >> if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. reporter: that comment effectively doomed akin's candidacy and mccaskill's bet paid off. she had cut this radio ad boosting him during the republican primary. >> akin wants to stop all funding to planned parenthood. reporter: i'm claire mccaskill candidate for senate and i approve this message. >> madrid says ten years later, the stakes are higher - >> what we're dealing with now is foundationally different. todd akin was not suggesting that the elections were being stolen. he was not suggesting that it was okay to engage in insurrection. re

it's interesting to note here a change from the last power ranking, the new hampshire race here, maggie hassan against don bolbuc, hassan is in the lean democrat category, that was in the toss-up but has moved over now and that's where we are here in the senate. you've got some lean republicans for those two lean democrats, it's going to be a very tight race, no question about that. mitch mcconnell feeling better about it, chuck schumer believes a 60% chance that democrats will hold on to control. >> sandra: more and more exciting as we work our way to the midterm elections. and we are watching the senate race, the open seat in pennsylvania, extremely closely in these battleground races. this is pennsylvania, dr. mehmet oz has been gaining ground against the democratic lieutenant governor, john fetterman there, and flip the screen, go to georgia now, that race is deadlocked according to the recent polls between rafael warnock and herschel walker. both states the candidate are set to debate next month. so work our way towards that, john. >> john: a lot to unpack as to what is happening, and whe
