Sununu backs Trump, but doubts he’ll secure nomination.
Gov. Chris Sununu Doubts Trump’s Nomination, But Vows Republican Support
Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) made a bold statement on Hugh Hewitt’s conservative radio show, expressing his unwavering support for the Republican Party. While he pledged to back former President Donald Trump if he becomes the Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, Sununu doesn’t believe Trump will secure the nomination.
“I’m gonna support the Republican. There’s no question about that,” Sununu declared. “But he’s not going to be the nominee, he’s really not.”
A Fierce Trump Critic
Sununu, known as one of the strongest Trump critics within the Republican Party, was even rumored to be a potential GOP candidate himself. However, he recently announced that he would not run, emphasizing that defeating Trump is of greater importance for the party’s future.
Trump wasted no time firing back at Sununu’s comments, suggesting that the New Hampshire governor opted out of the 2024 presidential race due to his lack of winning potential.
“The people of New Hampshire have gotten wise to Chris Sununu, and they no longer like or respect him,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “I never liked him, but always did whatever he asked for the state, because I wanted to help New Hampshire, and I did!”
Looking Beyond the Governorship
In addition to his decision not to pursue reelection in the New Hampshire gubernatorial race, Sununu expressed his belief that he can contribute more to the Republican Party by focusing on the bigger picture.
“Look, after he loses, I don’t think he’s going quietly,” Sununu remarked. “He’s kind of a crybaby in that sense. He’s always — have you seen his speeches?”
Criticizing Trump’s Record
Sununu didn’t hold back in his critique of Trump’s presidency, suggesting that Trump failed to deliver on his campaign promises and accomplish significant goals while the Republican Party held the majority in both the House and the Senate.
“He had Republicans in the House and Senate,” Sununu pointed out. “He didn’t build the wall, right? He didn’t show any fiscal discipline, adding $6 trillion, right? Where was the draining of the swamp?”
