New Hampshire GOP Members Back Nevada Boycott

Posted: Updated:

Republican members of New Hampshire's congressional delegation are joining the chorus in urging Nevada officials to reschedule their caucuses.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Reps. Charlie Bass and Frank Guinta issued a statement Wednesday calling on Nevada to push back its Jan. 14 caucuses and asking GOP candidates to suspend their campaigns in Nevada until that happens.

They say they fully support Secretary of State Bill Gardner, who said last week he's prepared to schedule the New Hampshire primary in early December if Nevada doesn't move to Jan. 17.

Jon Huntsman and four other candidates have said they will boycott Nevada's contest unless it's delayed. Huntsman also skipped Tuesday's debate in Las Vegas.
