Two U.S. Senators visited Concord, New Hampshire, to rally Democratic supporters ahead of the November midterm elections. Their appearances were intended to energize the base before the Tuesday vote.
Cinde Warmington walked with Senator Cory Booker to a rally near Bishop Brady High School, where she accused Governor Kelly Ayotte of failing to oppose President Trump and of worsening the affordability crisis. She said the current policies were eroding education and health services and expressed confidence that she could reverse that trend if elected.
Republican State Committee Chairman Scott Maltzie dismissed the visit, saying New Hampshire does not need an out‑of‑state Democrat to fundraise for candidates he described as having failed the state. He argued that Booker’s policies increase costs, expand government, and leave hardworking families behind.
On Thursday, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander addressed a crowd of veterans at Feathered Friend Brewing, recalling a video in which they argued service members could refuse illegal presidential orders, a claim that led President Trump to label the effort seditious and prompted a DOJ investigation that ended without indictment. The veterans, some wearing insignia and a “Veterans Against Trump” shirt, listened as the lawmakers warned that the president seeks to silence accountability.
Kelly urged attendees to vote on Tuesday, saying they could defeat the president at the ballot box and in court, while Goodlander focused on mobilizing local Democratic candidates in Concord. Both emphasized that the upcoming election offers a chance to reshape the state’s political direction.
