New Hampshire primary results: Key takeaways for US midterm elections
The GOP aims to gain a New England foothold as Democrats strive to retain the Senate seat.
Republican John E Sununu and Democrat Chris Pappas have won their primary elections in New Hampshire and will compete for a United States Senate seat that could flip the chamber in November.
Former Senator Sununu and House Representative Pappas are battling to replace outgoing Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen. Both candidates were strong frontrunners in their respective races.
In the House Republican primaries, Anthony DiLorenzo won in the 1st Congressional District and Lily Tang Williams won the 2nd District without much contest.
The second frontrunner in the Democratic primary race, democratic socialist Karishma Manzur, failed to defeat Pappas despite gaining on him in recent weeks. Manzur criticised Pappas for his relationship with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
