Karoline Leavitt, a 25-year-old hard-right Republican who served as an assistant in President Donald J. Trump’s White House press office, won her party’s nomination on Tuesday for New Hampshire’s First Congressional District, according to The Associated Press.

The race had devolved into a nasty battle with Matt Mowers, a former Trump administration colleague, over who carried the mantle of Trumpism.

“Unfortunately, tonight’s results did not go our way,” Mr. Mowers wrote in a concession statement on Twitter at 11:25 p.m.

Ms. Leavitt’s upset victory means she will face off in November against Representative Chris Pappas, a two-term Democratic congressman representing the highly competitive district in the eastern and southern parts of the state. Mr. Pappas is one of the most vulnerable Democrats this cycle, with his re-election race considered a tossup.



If she wins in November, Karoline Leavitt could be the youngest person elected to Congress.Credit...Brian Snyder/Reuters

1. Youngest dumbshit ever elecetd to Congress!

[jimfields33]

3. With as many crazy candidates this year and some will win,

Congress is going to be very drama filled. Luckily this candidate won’t win in New Hampshire.

[Delphinus]

11. I sure

hope you are right.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Blonde 25 year old right wing moron

WASPs they were called in the 70s. Zero life experience outside MAGA zone. No judgment. Predictable.

4. You can always tell old racist MAGAs buy their goats asshole beard.

Just look at that room of sexiest, racist, fascist loving MAGAs.

[Zambero]

6. Whoa!!!!!!!!

It can be a bit difficult to resist stereotypes, since of course "you can always tell". I suppose a certain facial hair "look" might be one of those telling categories. Since I'm sporting one of those snow-white things at this very moment, I could likely go undercover at one of their whacko events and otherwise go unnoticed.

17. That does seem to be a tendency for magas.

Unfortunately, not all with that style are magas. Just like not all young men with shaved heads are skinheads.

[Strelnikov_]

7. Yea, that one dickhead is lucky to have survived Covid thus far

With a goatee like that, he doesn't stand a chance.

[Bayard]

10. And yet, they elected a woman.....

[Polybius]

13. He's looking creepily at her

Wonder what he's thinking, hmm...

[Sky Jewels]

18. He reminds me of that Trump-fluffing asshole Mike Love, of the Beach Boys

8. Thank you

We need to hold on to this seat. Will contribute right away.

9. This will be a test of the new Dem. strategy.... support the Magaloon and hope the voters

are sophisticated to vote for a mainstream Dem. This strategy hopes that most Republican and indy voters are bright enough to recognize the damage this dolt can do to the country.

This rings me back to 2016. I was giddy that Trump was the Republican candidate. After all, who will voter that asshole?

Me? in the primary, I voted for Bernie.

So this brings us to yesterday's N.H. primary. The bad news is, this is New Hampshire. The good news is, women live in New Hampshire and Lindsey gave Dems the best gift, ever.

[JanMichael]

20. Is Eva one of the lizards that the Dems backed to try to get the looniest in to lose the general?

Quite the gamble if so.

[3Hotdogs]

21. I believe it was in the Senate contest. The magaloon won that race, also.

[Polybius]

12. Guaranteed that some voted for her because she's cute

At least 10%, so that put her over the edge.

[hadEnuf]

14. GOP primary turnout was low, but we know all the Magaloons voted.

Leavitt simply out-assholed her opponent and her opponent Mowers was a big asshole. She's a "the election was absolutely stolen from Trump" kook. I simply do not see her doing well in the southern part of the state in the GE.

15. Meanwhile, the GOP candidate for NH senator thinks there are microchips in vaccines

Don Bolduc: Pro-Trump candidate wins New Hampshire primary

A retired general and outspoken Donald Trump supporter has won the Republican Senate nomination in New Hampshire.
...
A veteran of 10 tours of Afghanistan, the 61-year-old has falsely claimed coronavirus vaccines contain microchips and that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
...
Former President Donald Trump has endorsed dozens of candidates around the country, and while he did not directly endorse Mr Bolduc, he did describe him during a radio interview as a "strong guy" who had "said some great things".

16. Crazy he may be....

Chuck Morse is WORSE. "Secure the border (singular, and we border Canada..), build the wall, no mercy for illegals, etc, etc."

[honest.abe]

19. Is this good or bad for us?

Crazy and cute might bring out the RW loons to vote for her.
