Tom Rath is what you’d call an ole’ establishment graybeard.
A former New Hampshire attorney general and Republican national committeeman, Rath has been intricately involved in GOP campaigns in the Granite State for decades — at least when things were relatively normal.

Now, Trump-like candidate Don Bolduc is the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in a race against a first-term incumbent many viewed as eminently vulnerable.
