New Hampshire Senate Republican nominee John E. Sununu releases ad distancing himself from Trump
John E. Sununu, the Republican Senate nominee in New Hampshire, released a TV ad saying he has "never even met" President Trump despite holding Trump's endorsement. Sununu faces Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas in the race to succeed retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen ahead of the Nov. 3 election. CNN also reported on Trump's $400 million midterm spending pledge and Bloomberg's roughly $80 million in Democratic support.
