Did I just witness the start of the 2020 presidential campaign in NH?
SALEM Martin OMalley preached reforming the Democratic Party and taking our country back at the first stop of his first visit to New Hampshire since the 2016 election.
And while he says his trip to the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state was all about 2018 rather than 2020, OMalleys address to a group of Democrats at a house party in Salem may be the beginnings of a stump speech in the next race for the White House.

'Tonight, Democrats won a huge victory in New Hampshire! The people of the Granite State elected a Democrat to the State Senate - claiming a seat Republicans held from 2010-2016. We have the momentum behind us to continue winning across the country in races up-and-down the ballot.
Can I count on you to support Democrats across the country?
I was honored to join Senator-Elect Kevin Cavanaugh in New Hampshire last week to help get out the vote. Because of this win, Democrats are now only 3 seats away from flipping the chamber.'
