🚨 So on @Substack, I've talked to a state or local reporter about the way the midterms look from their vantage point. And it's been so valuable! Here's a thread of some that insight:
This week, @charmatherly (@ConMonitorNews) explains why the left wave didn't land in New Hampshire, and how Republican John Sununu is dealing with Trump's unpopularity.

A year ago today, roughly 100 protesters were arrested at UNH and Dartmouth.
Recently, I obtained police body camera footage that showed UNH officers likely made inaccurate statements in court documents charging two students with assaulting police.

Brie Lamarche boarded a plane to Tennessee. She came home to New Hampshire in handcuffs. She's one of a few kids in state custody sent to out of state residential treatment programs thousands of miles away.

It's early, but it's hard to see Democrats taking back the NH House tonight.
Republicans have already knocked out three vulnerable Democrats in Laconia , Rochester and Meredith.
All three were among the must-win districts for Democrats to get to 201 seats.

@JoeBiden in Concord today with @SenSanders.
Danielle Feole brought her 6 yr old son Joey. She’s a Biden fan but now excited for a younger ticket w Harris/Walz.
Other young voters agree.

Biden at Democrat HQ in Concord, NH re Trump:
“We gotta lock him up.”
“Politically,” he quickly clarifies.
This was likely his last visit to New Hampshire as president.

The 1950s origin story for Concord's current middle school echoes the 2024 debate to replace it — but with one key difference.
It may prove to be the project’s fatal flaw.

It's Ayotte and Craig for gov.
Both women talked about the economy, public safety and maintaining NH's advantage in their victory speeches.
Another commonality? They're both only children (Ayotte has step/half siblings) #NHPolitics

An important Monitor investigation.
At the top of the @ConMonitorNews most-read list is a story that developed from throwing away a Market Basket pizza box and wondering, 'Hey the box says it's 18 inches, but they say it's 19 inches. What's up with that?' concordmonitor.com/Market-Ba… Story by Sofie Buckminster.

I was thrilled to speak on @NewsHour regarding my reporting on agreements reached between administrators and pro-Palestinian student protesters last week.
Check out the segment & follow @chronicle for analytical and in-depth reporting about what’s unfolding on US campuses.
The images of college protests over the Israel-Hamas war in the past few weeks have been of escalating tensions. But students and administrators at at least six schools have found common ground during negotiations.
@johnyangtv talks to @GretzingerErin for more.
