CNN projects Shaheen will win Senate race in New Hampshire

(CNN) – CNN projects that former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, will defeat Republican first-term incumbent John Sununu in a rematch for the Senate seat in New Hampshire.

The win gives Democrats a majority of 51 in the Senate.

In 2002, Sununu defeated Shaheen in a mid-term election year.

CNN projections are based on actual results and exit poll data from key areas.
