Maggie Goodlander holds a commanding position in the September 8 Democratic primary for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District as the incumbent who won the seat in 2024. Recent polling from the University of New Hampshire and Saint Anselm College shows her leading challenger Paige Beauchemin by wide margins of 40 points or more among likely voters, while fundraising data through mid-August reveals Goodlander raised over $4 million compared with Beauchemin’s roughly $44,000. Other potential Democratic entrants withdrew before the June filing deadline, leaving a two-candidate field. Trader consensus reflected in the 93% odds for Goodlander aligns with these structural advantages and the short timeline before voting; an upset would require a sharp late shift in turnout or an unforeseen development in the final week.
