新罕布什尔州曼彻斯特——周二，摇摆州新罕布什尔州将决出民主党和共和党参议院候选人提名，这场选举可能决定共和党能否在中期选举中保住参议院控制权。
亲社会主义阵营候选人卡里什玛·曼祖尔势头正劲，她试图爆出大冷门，在民主党参议院初选中击败建制派支持的四届众议员克里斯·帕帕斯。
曼祖尔最初被认为胜算渺茫，但近几周势头渐起。此前六个月的初选季中，极左翼候选人在多场备受关注的对决中击败中间派，这场初选被视为民主党意识形态未来之争，也让全国目光聚焦新罕布什尔州。
民主党初选获胜者将在约翰·E·苏努努和斯科特·布朗中对决一人，两人正争夺共和党参议院候选人提名，以接替即将退休的长期任职民主党参议员珍妮·沙欣——她是美国历史上首位同时当选州长和联邦参议员的女性。

共和党已16年未在新罕布什尔州赢得参议院选举，但他们将这个民主党掌控的开放席位视为中期选举中扩大微弱多数优势的头号翻盘机会。
在民主党初选中，曼祖尔向帕帕斯发起猛攻。
“他只想安稳拿到这份美差，去华盛顿参加各种派对、出入餐厅，只做最起码的分内事，”她在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时指责道。
这位首次参选的候选人拥有生物化学博士学位，同时也是非营利组织领袖，还是当地美国民主社会主义者组织（DSA）成员，她主张全民医保、将最低工资上调至至少每小时20美元、废除美国移民及海关执法局（ICE），并停止对以色列的所有军事援助，称以色列政府在针对哈马斯的加沙战争中对巴勒斯坦人民实施了“种族灭绝”。
曼祖尔指责多年来得到亲以色列游说团体美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）支持的帕帕斯是“种族灭绝帮凶”。
“克里斯·帕帕斯已经掌权太久，没能体面地为本州服务。他没有好好为企业捐赠者、受外国利益驱使的AIPAC游说团体效力，”她说道。

帕帕斯在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示：“以色列是美国的历史性盟友，也是该地区唯一的民主国家。即便像我一样对内塔尼亚胡政府持强烈反对意见，也可以认可这一点。”
在提及以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡时，帕帕斯说：“我认为内塔尼亚胡目前的做法极其鲁莽。他将在几周后面临选民投票，可能会输掉选举。我认为这将为美以关系设定新基调。”

自沙欣去年年初宣布不寻求连任以来，帕帕斯一直是民主党提名的领跑者，获得了强大的建制派和工会支持。在竞选参议员的一年多时间里，帕帕斯也抨击他所谓的“为亿万富翁量身定制的政治体系”。
尽管如此，曼祖尔指责帕帕斯在照搬她的竞选纲领。
“这对新罕布什尔州民众来说既尴尬又侮辱。他已经任职八年，从未提出过任何这类民粹主义主张，现在他发现自己的民调支持率下滑，不得不奋起直追，”曼祖尔说道。
帕帕斯为自己的政绩辩护，指出“自2018年当选国会议员以来，我一直在努力改革华盛顿，将巨额资金从我们的政治体系中清除出去。”
帕帕斯强调，他“正在吸引政治立场介于中间派的选民，新罕布什尔州有大量这样的选民。这里不是左翼或右翼的州，而是务实选民的州。”

在民主党内部展开意识形态对决的同时，共和党初选也在围绕特朗普的影响力展开争斗。
总统今年2月背书长期批评特朗普的苏努努，而非曾担任其首届政府大使的布朗。苏努努同时得到参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩和全国共和党参议员委员会的支持。
布朗在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时指责苏努努：“他的网站上有70个 endorsement，但没有总统的支持。他从不提及此事，对此感到羞愧。”

“一年多来，我一直得到MAGA基础选民和众多所谓传统共和党人的支持，”布朗强调。“约翰最近才开始活动，现在他以为所有人都会投票给他。这行不通。你必须靠努力赢得支持。”
布朗声称苏努努“依附”特朗普、图恩、参议院领导层和外部团体。
“他的一切都归功于这些人，他不为新罕布什尔州民众服务，”布朗指责道。
但苏努努强调：“我只有一个任务：每天都为新罕布什尔州民众挺身而出……我不需要让华盛顿的任何人满意。一切都关乎我们的州、我们的社区、我们的经济和我们的小企业。”
当被福克斯新闻数字频道问及特朗普的背书时，苏努努没有提及总统姓名，而是强调了本地支持，称“我们在新罕布什尔州获得了巨大支持……我们在基层拥有强劲势头。”

特朗普上周表示，他将开启竞选活动，帮助其他共和党候选人参加中期选举。
当被问及是否希望特朗普加入新罕布什尔州的竞选活动时，苏努努回答：“我不需要任何新罕布什尔州以外的人为我竞选。我从一开始就这么说过。”
这位前参议员还反对特朗普政府与邻国加拿大的贸易战，称“我认为与加拿大打贸易战是错误的。加拿大是新罕布什尔州的重要贸易伙伴。”
在接替帕帕斯的新罕布什尔州第一国会选区竞选中，沙欣的女儿斯特凡尼·沙欣——前朴茨茅斯市议员，正与曾在巴拉克·奥巴马政府时期担任国防部官员的美国海军陆战队退伍军人莫拉·沙利文激烈争夺民主党提名。竞选最后几周势头渐起的还有进步派候选人、汉普顿镇议员卡莉·贝里恩特。
得到特朗普支持的商人兼汽车经销商老板安东尼·迪洛伦佐，以及商人、前州共和党副主席霍莉·诺夫列茨基——第二次参选国会席位，是共和党提名的领跑者。州众议员布莱恩·科尔也在角逐共和党提名。
在该州第二国会选区，现任民主党众议员玛吉·古兰德面临州众议员佩奇·博谢明从左翼发起的初选挑战。
曾担任科罗拉多州自由党主席的莉莉·唐·威廉姆斯——第三次在新罕布什尔州参选国会席位，是共和党初选的领跑者。

MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Democratic and Republican Senate nominations are up for grabs on Tuesday in swing state New Hampshire, in a race that may determine if Republicans keep control of the chamber in the midterm elections.
Socialist-aligned candidate Karishma Manzur is on the move as she tries to pull off a major upset and defeat establishment-backed four-term Rep. Chris Pappas in the Democratic Senate primary.
Once a longshot, Manzur gained momentum in recent weeks as the national spotlight turned to New Hampshire after a six-month primary season that saw the far-left score a slew of high-profile victories over centrists in what’s been framed as a battle for the Democrats’ ideological future.
The winner of the Democratic primary will take on either John E. Sununu or Scott Brown, two former senators who are battling for the GOP Senate nomination in the race to succeed retiring longtime Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the first woman in the nation’s history elected governor and senator.

Republicans haven’t won a Senate election in New Hampshire in 16 years, but they view the open Democrat-held seat as a top flip opportunity in the fight to hold their slim majority in the midterm elections.
In the Democratic primary, Manzur is taking the fight to Pappas.
“All he wants to do is just get his little cushy job and go to D.C., go to all these parties and these restaurants and just do whatever the bare minimum is,” she charged in a Fox News Digital interview.
The first-time candidate, scientist with a Ph.D. in biochemistry and nonprofit leader who is a member of a local Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) group, is pushing for universal healthcare, raising the minimum wage to at least $20 per hour, abolishing ICE and ending all military aid to Israel for what she argues is the Israeli government’s “genocide” against the Palestinian people in their war against Hamas in Gaza.
Manzur charged that Pappas, who has been supported over the years by the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, is a “genocide enabler.”
“Chris Pappas has had his turn and has not been able to serve this state honorably. He hasn’t done a good job in serving his corporate donors, his AIPAC foreign-aligned lobbies,” she claimed.

Pappas, in an interview with Fox News Digital, said, “Israel’s a historic ally of the United States, the only democracy in the region. And you can say that while you have vehement disagreements with the Netanyahu government as I’ve expressed.”
Referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pappas said, “I think Netanyahu’s being incredibly reckless right now. He faces voters in a matter of weeks and could lose his election. And I think that would be important to set a new tone for the U.S.-Israel relationship.”

Pappas, who has been the frontrunner for his party’s nomination ever since Shaheen announced early last year that she wouldn’t seek re-election, enjoys strong establishment and union backing. And for over a year, as he runs for the Senate, Pappas also takes aim at what he calls a political system “rigged for billionaires.”
Regardless, Manzur charges that Pappas is taking a page from her playbook.
“It’s really embarrassing and insulting to the people of New Hampshire. He’s been there for eight years. He has not provided any of that sort of populist messages, and now he’s realizing, wait, he’s dropping in the polls, and now he has to catch up,” Manzur argued.
Pappas defended his record, noting, “I’ve been fighting to change Washington to get big money out of our political system since I got elected to Congress in 2018.”
And Pappas emphasized he’s “appealing to those voters between the 20- and 80-yard line on the political playing field, and there are a lot of them in New Hampshire. This is not a left wing or a right wing state. It’s a state of voters who are pragmatic.”

While Democrats wage an ideological battle, Republicans are fighting over Trump’s influence in their own primary.
The president in February endorsed Sununu, a longtime GOP Trump critic, over Brown, one of his first-term ambassadors. Sununu is also backed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Brown charged in a Fox News Digital interview that Sununu’s “got 70 endorsements on his website, but he doesn’t have the president’s. He never talks about it. He’s embarrassed by it.”

“I’ve had the MAGA base and a lot of those so-called traditional Republicans for almost over a year,” Brown highlighted. “Johnny came lately, and he’s here, and now he thinks everyone’s going to just vote for him. That’s not how it works. You got to go earn it.”
Brown claimed that Sununu is “beholden” to Trump, Thune, the Senate leadership, and outside groups.
“He owes them everything. He doesn’t work for the people of New Hampshire,” Brown charged.
But Sununu emphasized, “I’ll have one job: stand up for the people of New Hampshire every single day… I don’t need to make anyone in Washington happy. It’s all about our state, our communities, our economy, and our small businesses.”
Asked by Fox News Digital about Trump’s endorsement, Sununu didn’t mention the president’s name but highlighted his local endorsements, saying, “We’ve received tremendous support in New Hampshire … we’ve got great momentum at the grassroots level.”
MEET THE FAR-LEFT INSURGENTS WAGING WAR ON THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT IN 2026 MIDTERMS
Trump last week said he’d be heading out on the campaign trail to help fellow Republicans running in the midterms.
Asked if he’d like Trump to join him on the Granite State campaign trail, Sununu answered, “I don’t need anyone from outside New Hampshire to campaign for me. I’ve said that from the very beginning.”
The former senator also disagreed with the Trump administration’s trade war with neighboring Canada, saying, “I don’t think it’s the right thing to pick a trade war with Canada. They’re a great trading partner for New Hampshire.”
In the race to replace Pappas in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, Shaheen’s daughter Stefany Shaheen, a former Portsmouth city councilor, is in a heated battle for the Democratic nomination against Maura Sullivan, a U.S. Marine combat veteran who later served in the Defense Department during then-President Barack Obama’s administration. Gaining strength in the final weeks of the campaign is progressive contender Carleigh Beriont, a Hampton selectwoman.
Businessman and auto dealership owner Anthony DiLorenzo, who is backed by Trump, and Hollie Noveletsky, a businesswoman and former state party vice chair who’s running a second straight time for Congress, are the frontrunners for the GOP nomination. State Rep. Brian Cole is also bidding for the Republican nomination.
In the state’s 2nd Congressional District, first-term Democratic Rep. Maggie Goodlander is facing a primary challenge from the left from state Rep. Paige Beauchemin.
Lily Tang Williams, a former Colorado Libertarian Party chair who is running a third straight time for Congress in New Hampshire, is the frontrunner in the Republican primary.
