New Hampshire Congressional District One seat warmer Chris Pappas is in trouble. The Democrat is on the wrong side of a wave election. One in which he’s trying to differentiate himself from his party to save his political backside. But is that even possible?
Probably not.
And not just because Pappas is on Nancy Pelosi’s list of “competitive House Democrats.”
We won’t let insurrectionists and extreme Supreme Court decisions destroy our Democracy as we know it. We will fight back!
Our plan: don’t agonize, organize. #DefendOurDemocracy.
Hold the House. Support our competitive House Democratic Frontliners and Challengers. Let’s go! -NP pic.twitter.com/E0wE49DoZW

Pelosi’s Tweet includes a picture of Chris Pappas, and while Pelosi is one of the less appealing people inside the Beltway, this isn’t 2010 or 2012, or even 2014. Back then, siding with Pelosi could be a political death knell. Tying a candidate to her was the quickest way to flip a swing district.
The GOP is hoping that’s still the case. They sent out an email announcing the endorsement.
Reformatted.
Over the holiday weekend, Nancy Pelosi officially endorsed Chris Pappas for Congress.
No matter what faux moderate persona Pappas tries to put on for tv ads, Granite Staters know the truth: Chris Pappas and Nancy Pelosi have always been on the same team. Last year, Pappas even took campaign cash from avowed socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
This morning, Pappas denied being “progressive,” instead calling himself “pragmatic.” Clearly, that was a lie.
That’s not bad. Members of her party don’t like her. NH CD-2 Dem Annie Kuster is afraid of her. But there may be a better way.
According to data crunched by FiveThirtyEight, Chris Pappas votes the Joe Biden Line 100% of the time. Whatever Joe wants, Chris Pappas gives him. That would be the polar opposite of pragmatic.
Joe Biden is a train wreck from his choice of Kamala Harris as VP to Afghanistan to energy to spending choices, the economy, and inflation. All of it. The shortages, high gas and electricity prices. It’s all on Joe, and it’s all on Chr s. One hundred percent!
Maybe the GOP could point that out to New Hampshire voters?
I think there might be something to it.
And for the record, Ann E Kuster’s score is the same as Pappas’s. 100% down the Biden line.
