📰 THE FULL STORY
John E. Sununu has won the New Hampshire Republican Senate primary, defeating former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown. The Associated Press called the race for Sununu at 8 p.m.
With 15% of the vote counted, Sununu had garnered 69.6% to Brown's 25.2%. At 61, he entered the contest as the clear frontrunner.
Sununu previously served one term in the Senate, from 2003 to 2009, and is the brother of former New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu. Trump endorsed Sununu earlier this year, despite Sununu's 2024 op-ed that called Trump a loser and backed Nikki Haley.
The win sets up a battleground general election against Democratic nominee Rep. Chris Pappas, a race seen as critical to Democratic hopes of flipping the Senate.

Chris Sununu. It frames the outcome as setting up a battleground general election against Chris Pappas, downplaying the friction over Sununu's past criticism of Trump that center coverage emphasizes.
