Jeff Flake In NH Amid Kavanaugh Investigation, 2020 Speculation

GOFFSTOWN, NH -- U.S. Senator Jeff Flake will travel to New Hampshire Monday amid speculation he could mount a primary challenge to President Trump in 2020. Flake's trip comes days after he requested to delay the confirmation vote of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh pending an FBI investigation. Flake, a Republican from Arizona, is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Flake will visit the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown Monday. He is scheduled to deliver a speech at 6 p.m. titled, "After the Deluge: A Rejection of Destructive Politics and a Return to Principle." There is "high demand" for the event, the college said. The event is expected to be live-streamed; check back to Patch for live-stream information.

Last week, Flake's scheduled visit for an event in Boston, Massachusetts, was changed due to "safety concerns" over potential protests.

Flake is retiring from his Senate seat this year.
