    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Republican Party’s increasing Trump-era tendency toward more extreme nominees and its struggles to account for the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade have already cost it plenty.

    If unpopular GOP nominees in key states had merely matched the political fundamentals, Republicans might have held the Senate for the duration of Joe Biden’s presidency and had a much more significant House majority with which to work today.

    Whether Democrats will ultimately tie the chamber and, if so, for how long, is to be determined; the New Hampshire state House’s 400 members make it the third-largest English-speaking legislative body in the world, which means frequent vacancies.

    Someone who was apparently in Washington on Jan. 6 because Trump was the only “person who has stood up to Pedophilia, Sex Trafficking of Children, and Satanic Worship,” the candidate posted on Facebook.

    After Guzofski’s defeat, Republican state Rep. Ross Berry remarked to the New Hampshire Journal, “If you cozy up to and campaign with former president Donald Trump, you can expect to lose votes.”

    “No amount of money, campaigning, or deep roots to your community will overcome the voters’ absolute rejection of Trump-affiliated candidates in New Hampshire,” Berry added.
