New Jersey Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who you might recall said President Obama was “too busy” to campaign for her and went into “non-answer” mode when asked about her approval of the job the president has done, won re-election over challenger, Republican Scott Brown:
BREAKING: Dem Jeanne Shaheen wins re-election to U. S. Senate in New Hampshire. @AP race call at 9:19 p.m. EST. #Election2014 #APracecall
— The Associated Press (@AP) November 5, 2014
In this race it appears Shaheen’s Obama-dodging might have paid off.
Scott Brown is the first person in history to lose two Senate seats in two different states to two women.

Update:
Not so fast? As more votes come in, Brown has significantly closed the gap:
