Senate race and presidential prospects

According to Decision Desk HQ, Pappas has an 84% chance of winning. The nonpartisan analytical project Cook Political Report rates the race as leaning toward Democrats.

New Hampshire is among the states that hold some of the first Democratic Party primaries in the 2028 presidential cycle. The Hill notes that Newsom’s trip to the state may be a sign of his possible participation in the 2028 presidential race.

Among other possible Democratic contenders, the publication names former Vice President Kamala Harris, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. During Donald Trump’s second presidential term, Newsom repeatedly criticized the U.S. president, including his social media style and actions in office.
