Leading up to the 2024 Presidential Election, the New Hampshire Institute of Politics (NHIOP) partnered with WMUR-TV to produce Conversation with the Candidate.

The series invites presidential candidates to participate in a one-hour taping with Granite State voters at the WMUR-TV studio. The conversations begin with a short interview with an WMUR anchor, followed by questions from the in-studio audience, as well as questions submitted online from viewers across the state.
