Chris Sununu believes the Republican Party has a promising future without Trump.
Gov. Chris Sununu: Future of the Republican Party Looks Promising
Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) expressed his optimism about the future leadership of the Republican Party during the first Republican debate on Wednesday night. According to Sununu, the candidates showcased their own visions for America’s future, without dwelling on former President Donald Trump.
Among the eight candidates who took the debate stage in Milwaukee were former Vice President Mike Pence, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
“For the first time in six years, we’ve seen leadership in the Republican Party without Donald Trump, and it looked pretty good to some people,” Sununu shared with NPR.
Despite Trump’s current lead in the polls, Sununu does not believe he will be the Republican nominee in 2024, citing multiple indictments against him. While the governor has not publicly endorsed a candidate for the GOP nomination, he praised Pence and Haley for their strong campaigns.
“Haley did a good job at separating herself from Trump, even though she had served in his administration,” Sununu explained. He also urged the other candidates to find their own ways to distance themselves from Trump, without resorting to extreme measures.
Although Sununu remains a popular conservative figure in a liberal state, he has chosen not to seek a fifth term as governor. Instead, his focus is on supporting the candidates and the party, rather than seeking political office for himself. As a businessman and CEO, Sununu believes his strengths lie outside of the political arena.
New Hampshire will play a crucial role in the 2024 Republican presidential primary as the first state to hold a primary, following the Iowa Caucus. While the date for the New Hampshire primary has not been finalized, the Republican Iowa Caucus is scheduled for January 15.
