In a move that screams desperation, New Hampshire Democrats have recruited Cinde Warmington to mount what many are calling a doomed challenge against popular Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte in the Granite State's upcoming gubernatorial race.
Warmington's campaign launch reads like a greatest hits album of failed Democratic talking points, targeting "affordability" issues while simultaneously attacking the very Trump policies that are already delivering results for American families nationwide. The irony is rich – complaining about costs while opposing the deregulation and energy independence measures that are bringing prices down.
After a full decade of Republican leadership that has kept New Hampshire prosperous and free, Democrats are apparently betting that recycled Biden-era rhetoric will somehow resonate with Granite State voters. Good luck with that strategy.
Same Old Playbook, Same Predictable Results?
Governor Ayotte has been a stalwart defender of New Hampshire's tradition of limited government and individual liberty. While other states struggled under Democratic mismanagement, New Hampshire thrived under GOP leadership that prioritized fiscal responsibility and constitutional principles.
Now Warmington wants to change course and adopt the same failed policies that drove voters away from Democrats in droves during the 2024 election cycle. Her campaign talking points could have been copy-pasted from any number of losing Democratic candidates who tried to make Trump the boogeyman instead of offering real solutions.
"New Hampshire families are thriving under Republican leadership, and they're not going to be fooled by another tax-and-spend liberal promising to fix problems that don't exist," said one GOP strategist familiar with the race.
The timing couldn't be worse for Democrats. As President Trump's second-term agenda delivers on promises of border security, energy independence, and government efficiency, Warmington will be forced to defend the very policies that American voters soundly rejected just over a year ago.
Will New Hampshire voters really abandon a decade of prosperity and constitutional governance for another round of Democratic promises? The smart money says Granite State patriots know better than to fall for the same old tricks.
