New Hampshire gave a rousing reception to the “comeback kid” Friday.
Former President Bill Clinton reminisced about campaigns gone by in the Granite State while pivoting to the current 2024 election.
“I love New Hampshire,” said Clinton. “I’m not running for anything. Heck, I’m almost as old as Donald Trump. The thing I’m running for is the future of my grandchildren.”
The 42nd president is the latest in a slew of surrogates to stop in New Hampshire. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro made his way through on Wednesday.
Nina Jankowicz, whose former role as executive director of the Disinformation Governance Board led to threats against her and her family, has since cofounded the American Sunlight Project. She joins @Issue to talk about the need for people to think critically about the information they take in.
Republicans say they’re perplexed by the string of out-of-staters.
“This campaign is not about all the Washington insiders and swamp creatures, it’s about who’s better for New Hampshire,” said state GOP Chairman Chris Ager.
NBC10 Boston asked Ager if it would help for Trump, one of his family members or a top surrogate to visit the state.
“We’ve actually talked to the campaign, and we’ve said, ‘Our people are already highly motivated. They don’t need external celebrities to get them motivated,’” Ager said.
While they may not see eye-to-eye on much, both sides call this election critical for the country’s future.
“Are you better off now than four years ago? Very few people can say yes,” said Ager.
“Everything that you want for America is on the ballot,” said Clinton.
For the next few weeks, you might notice an additional service charge at some restaurants in Massachusetts in anticipation of international visitors who may not be accustomed to U.S. expectations around tipping.
At Union Straw in Foxboro, Massachusetts, customers will see a 20% service charge during the World Cup.
“Time is going to be very, very far, few and beyond for people when they’re trying to get to the stadium, with traffic and all that stuff. So we are going to implement a 20% service charge on all checks and hope to streamline those operations and save people 10 to 15 minutes,” said Craig Carreira, director of operations for Union Straw.
Right outside of Gillette stadium, at Patriot Place, Bar Louie and Davio’s are also planning to add a service charge during the World Cup.
The World Cup is underway, and the Haitian team made its way to Boston Thursday.
“That’s primarily how we do get paid, is through our tips,” said Christine Peterson, a bartender at Davio’s.
In Massachusetts, tipped workers earn $6.75 an hour. If they don’t earn enough in tips to reach $15 an hour, employers must make up the difference.
A 2024 ballot measure that aimed to raise the minimum wage gradually for tipped workers failed, in part, because many servers argued it would lower their overall compensation. So while tipping is largely expected in the U.S., it continues to be a topic of great debate.
“I don’t really like it. I like to tip somebody for their service, but there’s no incentive for the server to do well,” said Joan, a Rhode Island resident.
New signs and new grass are up at Gillette Stadium as the home of the Patriots hosts World Cup matches.
“All these restaurants are getting all this money with all these people coming here, and plus, they’re going to add another 20%,” said Susan, who was at Patriot Place Thursday. “That’s not right, not in my book.”
“I think it’s a good thing. They’re serving us, they should be able to get paid for their service. So I don’t mind,” said Mishi, a woman visiting from Haiti.
Under Massachusetts’ Consumer Protection Act, any mandatory charges or fees must be made known to the customer wherever prices are displayed on menus and bills.
Gillette Stadium, temporarily branded as Boston Stadium, is hosting seven 2026 FIFA World Cup matches from June 13 through July 9.
