In this double-barreled edition of the NHJournal podcast, two savvy Republican women talk about politics -- from New Hampshire's Second Congressional District to the Middle East.

Morgan Ortagus is founder of Polaris National Security and a former State Department spokesperson from the Trump administration. She shares her view of the Democrats' obsession with engaging, rather than confronting, Iran -- even in the wake of the recent missile attack on Israel. Ortagus also shares what she says are the key questions New Hampshire voters should be asking candidates for Congress this year.

One of those candidates is Lily Tang Williams, who discusses her views on foreign policy and how she sees the NH-02 GOP primary. "I am the frontrunner," Williams tells NHJournal.

On this special edition of the NHJournal podcast, Gov. Chris Sununu talks about the current state of New Hampshire politics, from education funding to Rep. Kuster's farewell to the 2024 POTUS race in the Granite State.

Among the highlights:

On Gov Race: "Joyce Craig might go down as the worst mayor in the history of Manchester. Even in Manchester, they didn't want the city run by Joyce Craig. Do you think the rest of the state wants it to look like Manchester? God no!"

On Debating Colin Van Ostern in 2016: "Like a lot of Democrat debaters, there were a lot of mistruths in there, there was a lot of emotion... as opposed to the facts and figures of good management."

On 2024 POTUS Race in NH: "It's going to be competitive. I didn't think that a year ago, but there's no doubt in New Hampshire, Biden's blowing it. Even the Biden team knows Trump has a shot here."

A day after Rep. Annie Kuster (D-NH) abruptly announced her retirement, veteran New Hampshire GOP strategist Mike Dennehy joins the podcast to talk about what it means for Granite State politics in November 2024 --and beyond.

Also, what's the current state of the NHGOP? And why are there so few "productive losses" in Granite State politics?
