'This is serious': Trump nemesis warns Dems 'won't have a chance' if they lose this race

By David McAfee
Published December 27, 2025 8:05 PM ET

A Democratic governor who serves as a thorn in the side of Donald Trump on Saturday warned that Dems "won's have a chance" at reclaiming the Senate if the GOP prevails in one key race.

Governor JB Pritzker, who has frequently been subjected to taunts by the president, sent out an urgent plea over the weekend.

"I’m emailing you today about New Hampshire’s Senate race because this is serious: Senate Republicans’ hand-picked candidate, John Sununu, jumped in to defeat Chris Pappas and flip this open Senate seat red," he wrote in a fundraising email. "Without Chris Pappas winning in New Hampshire, Democrats won’t have a chance at taking back a majority in the Senate. That’s why this race is being targeted by GOP super PACs and Republicans across the country."

Chris Sununu was the actual preferred choice of the Rethugs. John will be easier to defeat, IF he even defeats Scott Celerity Dec 28 #8

Let’s see how voters feel next fall, as the economy worsens.

You can’t catch up in the end and we don’t have time to wait and see where things settle. Thanks for sharing this.

I’m not sure what to do, because it doesn’t seem to help.

former DUer brooklynite, who was a prominent Democratic donor. They don’t spam you or sell your info. You can search for races you want to support or let them recommend close races.

It’s a way to give without getting on mailing lists.

Brown in the Rethug primary first (which he likely will).

We dodged a real bullet with Chris refusing to run. He is more formidable and popular than John.
