2022 NH Senate race: on Principles & Values


Don Bolduc: 2021: Trump won; 2022: Biden is legitimate president

Bolduc was unabashed during the Republican primary in falsely declaring that Biden's victory was illegitimate. Bolduc said at an August debate: "I signed a letter with 120 other generals & admirals saying that Donald Trump won the election and, dammit, I stand by" it.

[Bolduc was referring] to a May 2021 letter that vaguely suggested the election results did not reflect the will of the people. Bolduc was more explicit in his own comments, baselessly saying in 2021 that "I think there was a tremendous amount of fraud across this country and in every state" and falsely claiming in 2021 that NH's Republican governor [and others] have won races by "mathematically impossible" margins.

After [winning the 2022 GOP primary], Bolduc flip-flopped on the 2020 election. He said "I have come to the conclusion--and I want to be definitive on this--the election was not stolen." He said that while there was fraud in the election, Biden is unfortunately "the legitimate president of this country."
