New Hampshire Democrats held a general-election kickoff breakfast Wednesday, where candidates and former primary contenders urged the party to unite. Representative Maggie Goodlander thanked those who ran, and House nominee Stefany Shaheen called for Democrats to stand together against Donald Trump and Republicans.
Senate nominee Chris Pappas said Manzur had called him and praised her campaign. Manzur, who did not attend, said she planned to meet with Pappas to discuss how he could earn her support and help working families. Former candidate Carleigh Beriont also said getting everyone on the same page was important. Republicans were due to hold their own unity breakfast the following week.
