Democrat Chris Pappas in dead heat with John Sununu in New Hampshire Senate race

>Women favor Pappas by nine points, while men back Sununu. Of course! >Until 1980, during any Presidential election for which reliable data exist and in which there had been a gender gap, the gap had run one way: more women than men voted for the Republican candidate. That changed when Reagan became the G.O.P. nominee; more women than men supported Carter, by eight percentage points. Since then, the gender gap has never favored a G.O.P. Presidential candidate. >In the Reagan era, Republican strategists believed that, in trading women for men, they’d got the better end of the deal. As the Republican consultant Susan Bryant pointed out, Democrats “do so badly among men that the fact that we don’t do quite as well among women becomes irrelevant.” And that’s more or less where it lies. >The entrance of women into politics on terms that are, fundamentally and constitutionally, unequal to men’s has produced a politics of interminable division, infused with misplaced and dreadful moralism. **Republicans can’t win women; when they win, they win without them, by winning with men.** >https://srpubliclibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/02/JillLepore.pdf

Dead heat Chrissy Pappas.

oof. that's not what I expected in this race.

Top contributor for Pappas in 23-24, by a large margin, was AIPAC to the tune of $315k. Wonder if that has anything to do with the lack of democratic base enthusiasm. Plenty of time for progressive Karishma Manzur to make her name know. https://www.karishmaforsenate.com
