Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, was able to dodge the attack as he headed into the final debate against his incumbent opponent, Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), according to his campaign.

“As the general said on stage tonight, it’s time to lower the temperature of the political discourse in this country,” a Bolduc campaign spokesperson told Boston 25 News.
“Prior to the debate, an individual in the crowd gathered outside attempted to punch the general and was quickly apprehended and arrested,” the spokesperson told the outlet. “We are grateful to the quick response from law enforcement on the scene.”
