Scott Brown

Scott Brown is a former Republican senator who has become known for hosting presidential candidates at barbecues in his New Hampshire backyard, particularly before the state's primary. While traditionally inviting Republican candidates, Brown extended an invitation to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2023 when Kennedy was running for president as a Democrat. This invitation was considered unexpected given Brown's Republican background. He is newsworthy because of the resurfacing of this connection to RFK Jr., highlighted in a recent article detailing Kennedy's activities and connections prior to a controversial trip to Samoa in 2019. Brown's willingness to host Kennedy, a Democrat, underscores his role as a figure willing to engage with candidates across the political spectrum in the context of the New Hampshire primary.
