Why is Kamala campaigning in New Hampshire next week?

I just saw this on Twitter and I'm a little surprised. Is she going to help out with the governor's race, or is there internal polling that looks bad there?

1. FWIW: Their internals don't match most the polls we're seeing from the mainstream pollsters.

I don't know what their internals are saying about New Hampshire but it would not surprise me if they are trying to shore up support there. Everything I've been told is that the campaign believes this election is a toss-up and the electoral map will be extremely narrow. My guess is that the state will be closer than 2020 but not as close as 2016. Still, it'll be close enough that if they ignore it, it could swing to Trump and blow up their path to victory as right now, their internals point to a map where they hit 270 exactly.

Whatever they want to do is good with me.
They have skills.

And it's been too close for comfort since. Good that they're not taking any chances.
