In anticipation of Tuesday's Democratic primary, he and Henry discuss the tectonic political shift in the Granite State now that Jeanne Shaheen is retiring—along with the new presidential primary ordering that has pushed New Hampshire back in the Democratic Party's queue. Plus, Henry looks ahead to the midterms, finds a map made relatively favorable to Republicans, and warns Democrats aiming to take the House about the unique challenge they face. And he homes in on an ad in the New Hampshire 01 primary where Maura Sullivan accuses opponent Stefany Shaheen of nepotism. Be sure to sign up for Henry’s weekly newsletter, Margin of Victory , for his election insights every Wednesday!","meta_description":"With all due respect to grammarians, when we at Beyond the Polls think of New Hampshire, hard facts and rock-solid political analysis from our friend Dant…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3731,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/beyond-the-polls-with-henry-olsen-1207991/episodes/take-nothing-for-granite/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-polls-with-henry-olsen-1207991/take-nothing-for-granite.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
