The former senator from neighboring Massachusetts and 2014 Republican Senate nominee in New Hampshire is seriously considering a 2026 run to return to Congress. If he proceeds with a campaign, it could lead to a high-profile rematch with Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, setting the stage for a competitive Senate clash in a key swing state.
The 65-year-old former senator has been actively meeting with various Republican and conservative groups in New Hampshire, expressing his dissatisfaction with the current all-Democrat congressional delegation. He believes they have not adequately addressed issues such as border security and inflation, asserting that New Hampshire deserves better representation.
