Chris Sununu and Harris Faulkner clash over Trump’s Iowa visit.
Gov. Chris Sununu’s Fiery Exchange with Fox News Host Harris Faulkner
Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) found himself in a heated feud with Fox News host Harris Faulkner on Monday. The clash erupted when Faulkner questioned Sununu’s assessment of former President Donald Trump’s performance at the Lincoln Day Dinner.
“He had nothing to say about the future of America,” Sununu stated.
“I disagree,” Faulkner countered. “After watching his speech, I didn’t get that impression.”
Interrupting Faulkner, Sununu challenged her, “What did he say about the future?”
Faulkner, determined to make her point, responded, “Let me finish my sentence. He took a more subdued approach. Is there a strategy in that? Does he simply let others take the lead? He doesn’t need to reintroduce himself.”
Sununu then criticized Trump’s speech, claiming it focused solely on his legal battles, which he believed wouldn’t resonate with voters. The governor pointed out that Trump failed to address important issues like fiscal responsibility and “draining the swamp.”
Interrupting again, Faulkner asked Sununu if he thought people had concerns about those issues. Sununu confidently replied, “Yes, because he didn’t do it.”
Sununu’s Criticism of Trump
It’s no secret that Gov. Sununu is one of Trump’s harshest critics within the Republican Party. In fact, he recently stated that if Trump becomes the 2024 Republican nominee, he will lose to President Joe Biden once again. Trump, not one to hold back, fired back on Truth Social, labeling Sununu a “RINO” and claiming that New Hampshire residents have lost faith in him.
In the first New York Times/Siena College poll of the 2024 campaign, Trump emerged as the clear frontrunner with 54% support among GOP primary voters. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), often seen as Trump’s biggest competition, trailed far behind with only 17% support. Other candidates polled at 3% or less.
In a head-to-head matchup between Trump and DeSantis, the former president maintained a commanding lead with 62% of voters favoring him, while DeSantis garnered 31%.
