    Midterms- The New Hampshire Governors Race 10-21-26

    As the midterm election heats up in New Hampshire, the state's gubernatorial candidates are getting ready to rumble. Yesterday's debate between Kelly Ayotte and Cinde Warmington was a clash of titans, with both candidates throwing punches and neither backing down. But what did we learn from this intense exchange, and how might it impact the outcome of the election? The debate, moderated by Scott Spradling, saw both candidates tackle issues like housing, energy policy, and the economy. Ayotte accused Warmington of being out of touch with the state's needs, while Warmington fired back at Ayotte's ties to private equity firms like Blackstone. The exchange was spirited, with both candidates landing some solid blows. But what was missing from the debate was a clear vision for the future - both candidates focused on past accomplishments rather than outlining their plans for the next two years. As we look ahead to the election, it's clear that the stakes are high. The New Hampshire Today team is on the ground, bringing you the latest news and analysis. Join us as we break down the key takeaways from the debate and explore what they mean for the future of the state.

    Midterms-State of Play 13 Days from Election Day 10-21-26

    As the midterm elections approach, the momentum is shifting in favor of the Democrats. With just 13 days to go until election day, the party is poised to take control of the House of Representatives, and there's a real possibility they could also win the Senate. But what does this mean for the Granite State? This episode of New Hampshire Today explores the latest developments in the federal races, and what they might mean for New Hampshire's voters. The speaker is joined by John Lappie, a professor of political science at Plymouth State University, who breaks down the latest polling numbers and what they reveal about the state of the election. From the House to the Senate, Lappie shares his insights on the key races that will determine the outcome of the midterms. With the Democrats looking strong, but the Republicans still in the running, it's clear that this election will be one to watch. One of the key takeaways from the conversation is the importance of polling accuracy. Lappie notes that while some argue that polls are underestimating Republican support, the data suggests that this might not be the case. He points to the 2020 presidential election, where polls were off by a significant margin, and argues that this could be a repeat scenario in the midterms. As the election draws near, it's clear that the outcome is far from certain. Will the Democrats' momentum carry them to victory, or will the Republicans stage a comeback? Tune in to this episode of New Hampshire Today to hear Lappie's expert analysis and get the inside scoop on what's at stake in the Granite State. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    As the midterm elections approach, voters are feeling the pinch of rising costs, and it's clear that the economy is a top concern for many. This week on New Hampshire Today, we're diving into the world of economics and politics to explore how voters are making sense of the current economic landscape and what they're looking for in their leaders.

And Chuck Zodda, host of Financial Exchange, joins us to discuss the key issues that voters are focusing on, including gas prices, grocery prices, and mortgage rates.

With the midterms just around the corner, it's clear that voters are looking for leaders who can deliver on their promises to reduce costs and improve the economy.
