'As the cycle comes to a close, we are shifting resources to where they can be most effective to achieve our ultimate goal: winning the majority,' Senate Leadership Fund president Steven Law told CBS News in a statement.
At the beginning of this midterm cycle, incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan was considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats on the November ballot. Hassan barely defeated Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte in 2016, and was unpopular in poll after poll among New Hampshire voters.
Bolduc, a former Army brigadier general, has proposed abolishing the FBI after the search at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, and has peddled election denialism, though he seems to have backtracked since winning the primary. "It belongs to the state," Bolduc said in the audio."It belongs to these gentlemen right here who are state legislators representing you as the best way I think as a man, that women get the best voice, at the state level, not at the federal level. And it's really Sen. Hassan that doesn't understand this, and she needs to get onboard with the Supreme Court decision."
Bolduc has also repeatedly said he would not back McConnell as Senate majority leader if he won and Republicans took back the Senate.The withdrawal by SLF comes after the National Republican Senatorial Committee earlier this month withdrew money it had in reserves for broadcast spending for the New Hampshire Senate race – and instead designated it for other battleground states.
