The Trump campaign “no longer thinks New Hampshire is winnable” and is “pulling back” from the crucial swing state, according to a bombshell leaked email from a top campaign volunteer.
Tom Mountain, a former Republican party vice chair in Massachusetts, sent an email to volunteers claiming that “the campaign has determined that New Hampshire is no longer a battleground state,” The Boston Globe reported.
In the email, obtained by the Globe, Mountain advised supporters to turn their attention to Pennsylvania instead, as Trump was “sure to lose by an even higher margin” in New Hampshire than he did in 2016 and 2020.
Here are the top political news stories for today.

Trump is going to lose by a higher margin everywhere..and the race..between him and his women hating VP Vance, they are down 8% of the womens vote. He can't win, and he knows it...waiting for the official breakdown!

What’s it look like in the swing states? These are the only states that matter.
What a shame.
Surprised they really believed they had a shot to begin with. But then again, Trump doesn't attract the sharpest tools in the shed.
Yes. The 7 currently acknowledged battlegrounds set Trump's floor & ceiling at 219 & 312.
Michigan is generally seen as the toughest for him right now, but dropping it reduces the number of paths and makes Pennsylvania even more important.
A campaign that is behind in polls and money has to map out the most possible routes to 270 and focus only on that. NH, MN, ME, and NE-02 are probably all being set aside.
The big one would be reducing spend in a very light blue state like Michigan.

The other thing about NH is Harris’ ads would also play into Maine 2nd. Since Maine and Nebraska award electoral votes by the winner of the vote in each district, she could blanket the airwaves in that area of Maine.

"We MUST always tell the Emperor that his clothes are beautiful, the best ever, and that he is the handsomest man ever seen..."
Trump, and his core team, don't tolerate bad news. You say nothing (and let things crash later), or else you end up like this guy: ostracized.
