He may not have President Donald Trump's endorsement, but Republican Scott Brown isn't bailing on his hopes to be the next U.S. Senator. That starts with winning the primary over Trump's pick, Republican John E. Sununu.

In this wide-ranging interview, Brown talks about how he views the endorsement, the current state of the race, and why he believes the grassroots will be with him in September, not Sununu.

Also on the podcast: Rank punditry, provided by Drew Cline of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, and Periklis Karoutas of Legislative Solutions.

Scott Maltzie may be an accidental chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, but he’s got a message for friends and foes alike:

He’s not going anywhere.

Also on the pod: Veteran strategists Michael Dennehy and Matthew Bartlett on the current state of New Hampshire politics, and why the race for NH governor may already be over.
