CONCORD, NH: The debate stage is set according to strict guidelines with NO accommodations for an audience. Live streamed, it appeared the stage was set to Governor Chris Sununu’s specifications.
During the walk thru for the candidates, WMUR’s New Director, Alisha McDevitt, explained that there would be three podiums. When questioned, she clarified that the Governor had declined the invitation.
“Once again,” stated Candidate Karen Testerman, “he owes the people of New Hampshire respect by appearing. What will be his excuse? He has his priorities, and serving the people is not among them. He appears to be more Biden-esque hiding in the basement than willing to explain the policies he has fostered.”
“This isn’t the first time he has declined to debate me. He didn’t accept my challenge in 2020, and he has had other priorities for the numerous invitations he has received. Is this the Governor’s way of withdrawing from the gubernatorial race? Like he did that with the U.S. Senate challenge,” said Testerman.
However, the show must go on with three of the challengers broadcasting from the Institute of Politics at St. Anselm’s College on Friday, September 9, at 8 o’clock EDT.
