Former Sen. Kelly Ayotte will win the Republican primary in New Hampshire’s race for governor, according to The Associated Press, advancing to what is expected to be a competitive general election to succeed retiring GOP Gov. Chris Sununu. Ayotte is projected to defeat a crowded primary field that included former state Senate President Chuck Morse. Sununu, who emerged as a national figure largely because of his criticism of former President Donald Trump, opted against seeking a fifth two-year term, announcing last year that “the time is right for another Republican to lead our great state.” New Hampshire’s prominence in presidential primaries – as well as its independent streak – have made it the closest thing to a political battleground in otherwise overwhelmingly Democratic New England. Both Sununu and longtime Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster are retiring after this year. Ayotte, who had the governor’s endorsement, has said that she would keep New Hampshire on the “Sununu path” – a stark contrast to Morse, who offered himself as a strong Trump supporter.
