(The Center Square) — Senate Republicans are throwing their support behind former Sen. John Sununu's bid to flip one of New Hampshire's two U.S. Senate seats to help hold onto their majority in the chamber.

The Senate Leadership Fund, which is aligned with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, announced that it is devoting $17 million to the U.S. Senate race, hoping to flip the Democratic held seat as the GOP tries to hold onto the chamber. Sununu will face former Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Scott Brown in a GOP primary for the party's nomination to run for the open Senate seat.
