Sen. Shaheen's Retirement Shakes Up NH Senate Race
Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire has announced she will not seek reelection in 2026, ending an 18-year tenure in the U.S. Senate. Her decision sets the stage for a competitive election in a swing state, affecting Democrats' efforts to regain Senate control, as they now have to defend three open seats. Shaheen, who has served in politics for 50 years, cited the current political environment as a factor in her decision and emphasized the need for new leadership. Despite not retiring, she intends to focus on significant issues such as national security and foreign policy during her remaining term. Her announcement comes as Republicans see New Hampshire as a potential pickup opportunity, with former GOP Gov. Chris Sununu and former Sen. Scott Brown considering runs. Shaheen has been a transformative figure in New Hampshire politics, having played a key role in changing the Democratic narrative in the state.
