Congressman Chris Pappas of New Hampshire has a compelling political journey. Since first being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, Pappas has become a key figure in Granite State politics. In a closely watched 2022 race, he defeated Karoline Leavitt—who now serves as the White House Press Secretary.
Now, Congressman Pappas is setting his sights on the U.S. Senate in what’s shaping up to be one of the most competitive races in the country. He joined me today to discuss high-stakes negotiations in the House over the future of Medicaid and SNAP, whether Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill” has the votes to pass, and his perspective on Leavitt’s job performance—having not only run against her, but now watching her in a prominent national role.
