New Hampshire, considered to be a battleground state in the November election, has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 2000 when George W. Bush picked the state’s four electoral votes. However, Trump nearly defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 New Hampshire presidential election. Clinton defeated Trump by less than half of 1 percentage point. While the Trump campaign may be looking for an influx of Republican voters to give Trump a victory in New Hampshire on Tuesday, polling information from the American Research Group could indicate a different outcome....

However, just days following her decision to buck the vast majority of her party and vote neither “yea” nor “nay,” Gabbard has seen her unfavorability rating climb to 30 percent. She is now the field’s “most disliked candidate”—overtaking former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, according to Morning Consult....

“It absolutely does the very opposite of [empowering women], and it’s the height of hypocrisy for people who claim to be the champions of rights for women to deny the very biological existence of women,” said Gabbard. “It’s mind-blowing because it shows just how out of touch with reality and the struggles of everyday Americans people in Congress are,” Gabbard continued. “Their first act as this new Congress could have been to make sure that elderly Americans are able to get the COVID vaccine now…but instead of doing something that could actually help save people’s lives, they’re choosing to say, ‘Well you can’t say mother of father in congressional language....

McConnell sees Trump’s constant spotlight on the alleged voter fraud that occurred in the 2020 election as a detriment to Republican efforts to retake control of Congress. While McConnell wants 2022 candidates to be focusing on President Joe Biden, Trump remains the leader of the GOP despite holding no official title and polls indicate that he still commands strong support among members of the party.

Like Trump, Rispone was a wealthy businessman with a background in construction, and much of his campaign was based on their ideological similarities: pro-business, anti-taxes, pro-Christians, anti-immigration....
