Greitens is one of many problem candidates for Republicans across the country.
Up in New England, New Hampshire Republican Don Bolduc is another. New Hampshire has a weak selection of Republican Senate candidates because Kelly Ayotte and Chris Sununu aren’t running. However, Bolduc stands out among the bunch for a couple of reasons. He called the state’s popular incumbent Republican Gov. Chris Sununu a Communist Chinese sympathizer and has claimed that the 2020 presidential election was rigged (spoiler alert: It wasn’t).
Meanwhile, incumbent Maggie Hassan, a Democrat, is a strong candidate for her party. She was the state’s Senate majority leader, then governor, and beat an incumbent Republican in the 2016 Senate race. In a state that hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 2000, Bolduc’s brand of politics probably won’t resonate with voters.
