Most voters charlie_mccann spoke to in New Hampshire said they supported abortion rights, but still planned to vote for the Republican candidate who did not. From 1843 magazine
stey’s Country Store in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is a celebration of Americana. The converted cow-milking parlour sells apples, jams, rough-hewn carvings of the Stars and Stripes. Standing outside the shop, framed by its sleigh-bell draped doors, 25-year-old Karoline Leavitt flicked her long blonde hair behind her shoulders and offered a Crest-white smile.
Luminaries of the right have lined up to support Leavitt. If she wins, she’ll be the youngest person ever elected to Congress. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who calls Leavitt “that happy warrior for liberty”, has joined her on the campaign trail. She’s become a go-to guest on Fox News. And conservative talk-show host Howie Carr has labelled her “a perfect antidote” to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 33-year-old Democratic congresswoman who has become a youth icon.
In addition to the car dealership, the family owns an ice-cream stand where Leavitt toiled as a teenager. The joke in the family is that “she didn’t work at the ice-cream stand; she came and took it over.” At university – Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire – Leavitt threw herself into journalism with the same energy she’d applied to softball and ice cream.
Five days later I went to “What a Crock! ”, an event hosted by a local Republican chapter that featured five of the party’s candidates and 17 different kinds of home-made soup. Leavitt herself was due to attend but didn’t turn up. Instead I talked to a 64-year-old woman with grey cropped hair who lamented that I was the youngest person at the meet-and-greet.
