Kamala Harris endorses Chris Pappas in New Hampshire Senate primary

Kamala Harris has endorsed Representative Chris Pappas in the Democratic primary for an open Senate seat in New Hampshire. The endorsement comes eight days before the primary election on September 8.

Pappas, who is currently considered the leading candidate in the primary, faces a challenge from Karishma Manzur. Recent polling from the University of New Hampshire indicates Pappas holds a 13-point lead over Manzur. In addition to Harris, Pappas has received support from various labor unions and abortion-rights organizations.

Local supporters have also advocated for Pappas, citing his ability to appeal to a broad coalition of voters, including independents and Republicans, which is seen as vital for success in New Hampshire's political landscape.
