Kelly Ayotte Wins New Hampshire GOP Primary, Setting Up 2-Year Term Fight With Cinde Warmington

Summary
Kelly Ayotte easily beat Shaun Fife and Bob Wayne McClory in Tuesday's Republican primary, advancing to a general election matchup with Democrat Cinde Warmington for New Hampshire governor.
Warmington, a former two-term Executive Council member, ran unopposed and enters the race after losing the 2024 Democratic gubernatorial primary.
Ayotte is seeking a second two-year term after winning the governorship in 2024, when she kept the office in Republican hands following Chris Sununu's retirement.
The fall contest is likely to test Ayotte's first-term record on bail reform, school cellphone restrictions and budget cuts, while Warmington is already attacking her over ties to President Donald Trump.
