James Carville alarmed over New Hampshire's Senate race

Democratic strategist James Carville sounded an urgent alarm about New Hampshire's Senate race, calling it essential to Democratic control of the chamber.

Democrat Chris Pappas leads Republican John Sununu by just one point — 45-44 — a margin Carville describes as a tied race being overlooked while national attention focuses on Georgia and North Carolina.

Carville emphasized the mathematical stakes: if Pappas loses, Democrats must flip five Senate seats instead of four to gain majority control, a scenario he argued, "doesn't work."

He reframed New Hampshire as the pivotal race, stating that holding the seat provides a path to majority while losing it renders other competitive races irrelevant. Carville credited Pappas as the only viable candidate, noting his four previous victories in New Hampshire's toughest district, but warned that without adequate national support and funding, Pappas cannot succeed alone.
