An independent New Hampshire voter called Sen. Tim Scott over to the booth where he was eating at the Windmill Restaurant.
“You don’t stand up to Trump, how are you going to stand up to the president of Russia and China?”
That event was Scott Brown’s No BS BBQ. According to Brown, it was the biggest crowd he’s had at one of his BBQs. Ramaswamy’s campaign says 487 people were there.
Gov. Josh Shapiro: “This, my friends, this is an election about real freedom, an election with clear contrast and an election that now falls in your hands.”
Gov. Josh Shapiro says Trump is afraid to debate Harris not just because “he knows she’s going to kick his ass in the debate” but because “he is afraid of his record.”
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer: “How good is Josh Shapiro? … He’s another example of Democratic governors who believe in our three part strategy: Get Sh*t Done!”

NBC News organized a debate watch party at New England College with eight independent voters, ages 18-22. Seven of them lean Republican and one more to the left (but will be voting in the GOP primary).

on what she would look for in a Supreme Court nominee:
"You can't have a political person one way or the other. Left or right. It's got to be somebody with such integrity that they know that their job is not to make the law... but to interpret the law.”
I asked
@NikkiHaley
why it’s important to visit small towns in northern New Hampshire.
Her response: “There’s not a lot of people here, but every vote counts.”
Here's the advice
@VivekGRamaswamy
gave her:
"If the pack is running in one direction, go the other way, be contrarian, and be right. And if you can be those two things, the sky is the limit for what you can achieve. That's been my formula for success in this country."
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said, “Let’s wake up in November and say the words Madam President,” after encouraging the crowd to make calls, knock on doors and donate.
Some Republicans booed at officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 as they were visiting the Pennsylvania state House.

Gov. Josh Shapiro: “I want a future where I can look the 47th President of the United States in the eye and say Hello, Madam President. I hope you're with me, let us get to work.”
