New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware close out the 2024 congressional primaries on Tuesday, when Democrats will settle one last intraparty battle in the Granite State.
New Hampshire Rep. Ann McLane Kuster’s decision to retire opens up the 2nd District seat, a battleground district covering the western and northern parts of the state. Colin Van Ostern, a former state executive councilor who ran for governor in 2016, and Maggie Goodlander, a former Department of Justice and White House staffer, are locked in a testy fight for the Democratic nomination.
The two share some similar political positions, but the campaign has grown increasingly negative as the candidates have sparred over their job histories and outside spending on the race.
