Tom Mountain, a former Republican 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, Mr Mountain advised supporters to turn their attention to Pennsylvania instead, as Mr Trump was “sure to lose by an even higher margin” in New Hampshire than he did in 2016 and 2020. Mr Mountain claimed the campaign has been forced to “shift strategy” after president Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris replaced him at the top of the ticket.
