The primary is behind us. What happens in the next eight weeks determines everything.
It's James Carville.
The primary is over. The match-up is set. And John Sununu and his Republican allies are watching Chris Pappas’s campaign right now — looking for any sign of weakness, any hesitation, any gap in resources they can exploit.
I’ve been around long enough to know what happens next: If they see it, they flood this state with money. If they don’t, they think twice.
What they see in the next few days matters tremendously.
Rush a contribution to Chris Pappas right now. The general election has started, and we cannot afford to blink first.
Let me be plain about the stakes. There is no path to winning back the Senate majority without winning New Hampshire. None.
If Chris Pappas loses this seat, Democrats need to flip five seats instead of four. That math doesn’t work.
John Sununu has more than $30 million in Republican outside spending flooding into the state and more coming. He’s got the name, the money, and the GOP machine that has decided New Hampshire is their best shot at the Senate. They are not letting up for a single day.
Chris Pappas has won the toughest district in New Hampshire four damn times. He knows how to reach voters across the aisle and win. But he cannot — cannot — go into the general election flat-footed on resources while Sununu’s allies are already flooding the airwaves.
So here’s what I need from you right now:
Rush a contribution to Chris Pappas today. $10, $25, whatever you can spare. Because the signal we send in the first few days of the general election tells the GOP everything they need to know about whether we’re ready for this fight.

I’ve seen races won and lost in moments exactly like this one. The campaigns that respond to the start of a general election with strength go on the offensive. The ones that hesitate get buried.
We are not hesitating.
Give what you can right now. Let’s win this damn thing and flip control of the Senate.
— James Carville
