"I've tied Chris Pappas in because when asked directly whether he supports him or not, he wouldn't answer the question. And it's clear by his votes that he basically agrees with AOC and Bernie Sanders on all the things we talked about, and that's so far out of touch with the people of New Hampshire," he said of his likely Democratic opponent, Rep. Chris Pappas.
Brown ran a digital ad in June dubbed "Comrade Chris" depicting Pappas alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani.
"Scott Brown is pathetic in terms of how he's running this campaign," Pappas said. "Folks here in New Hampshire know that I'm a New Hampshire Democrat. I'm someone who works across the aisle," Pappas told WMUR when asked if he wants to see Mamdani win and about being tied to the far left mayoral candidate. "The fact is, I don’t know what’s gonna go on in New York City. What I’m focused on is what’s happening right here in New Hampshire."

"He can't answer a question, and he doesn't have strong beliefs on issues. He's basically a follower. He follows the leadership," he added.

In 2010, Brown became the first Republican senator Massachusetts had in decades. He told Fox News Digital this week that "the energy feels like 2010," harkening back to when he won the special election at the time. The win was considered a major early success of the Tea Party movement. He later lost to Warren in the 2012 election.
