Four years ago, New Hampshire Rep. Ann McLane Kuster campaigned with several of the Democrats vying for the White House as they traveled across her home state in the months leading up to the party’s primary election.
This year, everything is different. Kuster, who is in her sixth term in the House, has spent weeks urging Democratic voters to write in President Joe Biden’s name on the ballot Tuesday, since the incumbent president isn’t officially running in the Granite State. It’s a grassroots effort in a state where politicians and activists pride themselves on grassroots campaigns.
“I just tried to welcome all the candidates to New Hampshire. Grassroots campaigning is what we do,” Kuster said of her activities in 2020. “This year, yes, that aspect is different.”
