Most Granite State influencers expect Republican Gov. Chris Sununu to challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan when she is up for reelection in 2022. That’s according to a recent HynesSight Influencer Survey of New Hampshire political insiders.

Almost 68% of influencers responded that they think Sununu will run for Senate. Only 32% said they do not think he will run for Senate.

Sununu won reelection in November 2020 with over 65% of the vote. Hassan won the U.S. Senate seat she currently holds in 2016 by a little more than 1,000 votes over then-incumbent Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a Republican.
