Hammering home their messaging on the second-to-last weekend before voters head to the polls, the two campaigns for New Hampshire’s senate race continued to try and sway voters ahead of the midterm elections.

For a race that could change control of the senate, Incumbent Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan got a boost from First Lady Jill Biden on Saturday. Stumping for Democrats across the state, including Rep. Chris Pappas, Biden made several stops in the Granite State, including a “Get out the Vote” rally in Portsmouth and a Teamsters Local 633 event in Manchester.

“What you do on Nov. 8 won’t just affect the course for the future of New Hampshire – you’ll help decide the future of our country, as well,” she said.

“We can knock on doors and make calls and stand up for a woman’s fundamental free and builds an economy that works for everybody,” Hassan said.

For Hassan’s opponent, retired Army brigadier general Donald Bolduc, the First Lady’s visit did not phase him and, if anything, played into his campaign’s own messaging.

“It’s just another example of my opponent doubling-down on the failed Biden administration policies that have hurt the economy, created out of control spending and left our country unsecure,” Bolduc said on Saturday.

An exclusive 7NEWS/Emerson College poll of likely voters finds Democratic incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan leading Republican challenger Don Bolduc 48% to 45% – a lead of just 3%. Libertarian candidate Jeremy Kauffman is polling at 2%, with 4% of likely voters undecided.

Weeks before that, Hassan had an 11-point lead – 51% to Bolduc’s 40%.

Bolduc spent part of Saturday meeting with supporters and said he believed his efforts on the ground have been paying off.

“I am out there in every town and city, talking to Granite Staters,” Bolduc said. “I understand what they’re going through – I’m going through it with them and as a result, I’m gonna win this race.”

On the Democratic side, with just over a week to, the First Lady’s message was largely to get out and vote.

“This is an enormous race, but it comes down to things as small as saying to that mom, or student or grocery store clerk – put the word ‘Vote’ in big bold letters at the top of your to-do list,” Biden said.

Saturday’s visit was the second time this week that the First Lady visited New England: she was stumping for candidates on the campaign trail in Rhode Island on Wednesday.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfiel...

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his a...

After court victories, Michael Jackson estate eyes revival

By
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Michael Jackson’s musical legacy never left, but a kind of comeback is coming. With a series of court victories that bring the end to serious legal crises, with a Broadway show beginning and a Cirque du Soleil show returning after a long pandemic pause, the Jackson business is on the upswing 12 years after the pop superstar’s death. Very recently, things looked grim. The 2019 HBO documentary “  Leaving Neverland  ” raised child molestation allegations anew. The once-dead lawsuits brought by the two men featured in it had been  revived  by changes in the law. And a decision in the estate’s appeal of a $700 million tax bill was taking years to arrive. “I was always optimistic,” John Branca, the entertainment attorney who worked with Jackson through many of his biggest triumphs and now serves as co-executor of his estate, told The Associated Press in an interview at his Beverly Hills home. “Michael inspired the planet and his music still ...
