Democrat Chris Pappas won the U.S. Senate seat in New Hampshire, marking a historic moment as the first openly gay man elected to the Senate. His victory maintains Democratic control and follows the decision of incumbent Jeanne Shaheen not to run again. Pappas, who has served in the House since 2019, campaigned against Trump’s policies, focusing on issues like the Iran war and Medicaid cuts. His election is significant for the LGBTQ+ community, following Tammy Baldwin's historic win as the first openly lesbian senator in 2012.
