00:02New Hampshire voters have set the matchup for one of this fall's key U.S. Senate races.
00:07Former Republican Senator John Sununu and Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas won their party's
00:13nominations Tuesday. They'll compete for the open seat held by retiring Democratic Senator
00:17Gene Shaheen. Republicans currently hold 53 seats. Democrats need a net gain of four to take control.
00:24Sununu previously served in both the House and Senate. His father and brother each served as
00:31governor of New Hampshire. To everyone who voted for a different candidate in the primary,
00:35those that didn't come out to vote, I'm asking you, join us. Reject the chaos in Washington.
00:41Give the granted state a senator who'll put the people of New Hampshire first every single day.
00:47Pappas has represented New Hampshire in the House since 2019 and campaigned as an independent voice
00:53for New Hampshire. Voters also set the governor's race. NBC News projects Republican Governor Kelly
00:59Ayotte will face Democrat Cindy Warmington as Ayotte seeks a second two-year term.
