New Hampshire's other smackdown

Democrat Maggie Hassan is ditching her job as governor to take on GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte. The outcome could decide which party controls the Senate.

CONCORD, N.H. — Maggie Hassan didn’t have to do this.

The Democratic governor probably could have skated to reelection and kept the state’s political order intact. Instead, she decided to ditch her post to take on GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte in one of the most bruising and expensive Senate races this year.

The move by Hassan, perhaps the Democratic Party’s best Senate recruit of 2016, has produced the rare spectacle of a popular sitting governor taking on a well-liked incumbent senator. The clash might decide which party controls the Senate next year, but it will definitely deprive the Democratic or Republican party of one of its top female officeholders after Nov. 8.

In a 30-minute interview last week in her governor’s suite here, her first with a national outlet since she announced her campaign in October, the former business attorney and state legislator broke with her party by backing more scrutiny of Middle Eastern refugees in her state and cast Ayotte as a tool of the right wing. But Hassan also hewed relentlessly to talking points and political bromides about a Washington that’s “rigged” against the people.

“What this race will be about is whether we’re going to continue to have a senator who just protects special interests,” Hassan said. “Or whether we’re going to have a senator, me, who will stand up for the people of New Hampshire.”

Ayotte only withdrew her endorsement of tRump two days ago. The Party That Supports Women™ wants to replace her with a woman who would never endorse someone like tRump in the first place. Could make for very good optics to see the candidate -- current FLONH -- FLOTUS and Hillary on the same stage, while tRump's remarks are still fairly fresh in everyone's minds.
