Within hours of her campaign’s announcement, a series of posts appeared on 𝕏 from a range of right-leaning or pro-Trump accounts.

A rare public split has emerged in New Hampshire’s most prominent Democratic family after Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and her daughter, congressional candidate Stefany Shaheen, took opposing stances on the deal to reopen the federal government.

New Hampshire’s voter-registration rolls have shifted steadily toward Republicans since 2018 — a trend that may give the GOP a structural advantage heading into the 2026 election cycle, helping cushion the state against the kind of national “blue wave” swings that have undermined Republicans in other states.

While Democrats scored decisive victories in the New Jersey and Virginia governor’s races, New Hampshire Republicans delivered a rare pushback against the national trend, notching key wins across the state that stood out as one of the GOP’s few bright spots this cycle.

Sixty-four current and former Republican state legislators have formally endorsed Lily Tang Williams (R-Weare) in her campaign for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, giving the Weare Republican a significant boost of grassroots and institutional support heading into 2026.

More than 80% of campaign contributions to New Hampshire Democrats' Federal Candidates this cycle have come from outside the Granite State, with millions flowing in from liberal enclaves such as California, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington, D.C., according to a review of fundraising records.
