Hassan’s lack of leadership has not gone unnoticed. A December editorial from the Union Leader blasted Hassan for “following the leader” and parroting Kelly Ayotte.
But Hassan’s silence on this issue was particularly odd when you consider how deeply she supports President Obama’s Iran deal. In fact, Maggie Hassan’s support of the deal was the first bit of “news” her campaign made. Hassan voiced her support for the Iran deal in her first interview as a Senate candidate, calling it, “the best available option.”
Foreign policy continues to be a thorn in Hassan’s side. In case you missed it, a few more foreign policy positions where Hassan prefers to hedge her bets than lead:
- Hassan refused to call the Paris attack a result of radical Islamic terrorism
- Hassan won’t walk back her openness to closing Guantanamo Bay
