Jim Merrill, Managing Shareholder of Bernstein Shur’s New Hampshire office, recently appeared on Fox News’ Fox & Friends, joining host Brian Kilmeade to discuss developments in New Hampshire’s closely watched U.S. Senate race as well as the broader political landscape in the Granite State.
Jim noted how dramatically the race has shifted over the past year, pointing to the emergence of a previously little-known challenger, Karishma Manzur, who has gained traction against the more well-established Chris Pappas, currently serving his fourth term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Jim then detailed the changing dynamics within the Democratic electorate, the role of endorsements, and the significance of voter trends as candidates head toward both the primary and general election.
