New Hampshire primary election results

Overview

Following the September 8, 2026, primary elections, New Hampshire voters have selected nominees for several key offices. The race to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen has resulted in a general election matchup between Democrat Chris Pappas and Republican John E. Sununu.

In the Democratic primary, U.S. Representative Chris Pappas secured the nomination by defeating progressive challenger Karishma Manzur, receiving approximately 65% of the vote. Manzur, a democratic socialist, criticized Pappas regarding his relationship with AIPAC. On the Republican side, former Senator John E. Sununu—who held the endorsement of Donald Trump—won the nomination after defeating fellow former Senator Scott Brown. Recent polling indicates Sununu holds a narrow lead in this contest, which is viewed as a “critical battleground for control of the Senate” in the upcoming midterm elections.

Other significant results include Stefany Shaheen winning the Democratic primary for the 1st Congressional District to succeed Pappas. In the race for the state’s 2nd Congressional District, Maggie Goodlander won the Democratic primary. Additionally, Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte won her primary to seek a second term, setting up a November contest against Democrat Cinde Warmington.
