Republican Kelly Ayotte wins New Hampshire governor
Briefly

Voters in New Hampshire elected Republican Kelly Ayotte as their next governor, defeating Democrat Joyce Craig in a highly competitive 2024 gubernatorial election that broke state spending records.
Throughout the race, Ayotte promised to maintain New Hampshire on the Sununu path while criticizing Craig's tenure as Manchester mayor, using graphic campaign ads to highlight concerns over crime and homelessness.
Craig criticized Ayotte's voting record on abortion during her Senate tenure, accusing her of being unreliable on the issue, despite Ayotte's current promise to uphold New Hampshire's abortion rights.
Ayotte's complex relationship with Trump involves initially renouncing support and later endorsing him while campaigning, trying to balance the two positions without fully aligning herself with Trump's controversial image.
