In Her Remarks New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan Thanks Supporters And Bolduc Acknowledges The Loss

Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan kept her seat in New Hampshire Tuesday night. She took to the stage at her headquarters on election night in Manchester at around 11.15pm. ET to her supporters chanting, “six more years!” Hassan thanked her supporters before acknowledging her opponent, Republican Don Boldus. He shut the crowd down when they began to jeer at the mention of Bolduc’s name. “I want to take a minute to thank Don Bolduc for a tough campaign and I want to thank Don Bolduc for his service to this country. We have differences, but we share a love for this country,” Hassan said, before sending her message of unity to Granite State voters. “I promise you, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans—the people who voted for me and those who didn’t—that I will continue to work every day to faithfully serve you, to listen to you, and to work with you to address the challenges you and your families face. , the state and our country”. Hassan’s victory speech focused on bipartisanship, with a pledge to work across the board on the economy and a nod to issues championed by her opponent on the trail. “I will continue to reach out to colleagues from both sides of the aisle, set shared goals and the common ground and compromise necessary to help families and small businesses with the challenges they face, such as the high cost of housing and care of children,” Hassan said. “Of course, to have a functioning economy, we need to be safe. The safety of our citizens and our nation is always the first responsibility of government. And I will continue to work to support our brave men and women in law enforcement and keep our country safe.” Meanwhile, Bolduc, whose campaign has been boosted by a surge in opinion polls in recent weeks, addressed supporters just before 11 p.m. ET, acknowledging Hassan’s victory in the crowd but noting that he had yet to call on the Democrat to concede at the time. “Maggie Hassan won,” Bolduc told a thinned-out crowd at his Manchester headquarters on Election Night, “I was told the protocol was to call her first, but I’m not for protocol. I wanted to tell my supporters first.” The Republican added: “This is not a loss. We woke up a lot of people. Hopefully we’ve alerted her. And we hope he will do the right thing for New Hampshire.” Bolduc read from Rudyard Kipling’s “If” to the crowd of supporters before telling them, “Right now, in this nation, there are a lot of ifs. We did something here in NH. We created a buzz.” “We didn’t win today, but imagine if we continue to come together, if we join hands, if we decide that they work for us and we don’t work for them,” the retired US Army general continued. We demand that they do the right thing for us, our children and our great-grandchildren […] If we can do that, even in defeat we will win.” Bolduc, who earlier sang “Country Roads” on stage with the band performing Tuesday night, closed by telling the audience to “live free or die, baby” — a reference to the Granite State’s motto.
