Fox News
Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., Thursday declared his candidacy in the 2026 race to succeed retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen for a key battleground state seat Republicans are eyeing.
Using clips of a listening tour he made through all 10 of New Hampshire's counties last month as he ramps up toward running for the Senate, Pappas said voters feel like "the system's rigged."
"You think about the Social Security office that's going to be closed in Littleton, drastic cuts to Medicaid, all in the name of giving big tax breaks to billionaires like Elon Musk," he argued, as he pointed to President Donald Trump's top donor and the world's richest person, who is leading the administration's controversial downsizing of the federal government workforce.
