As of now, it&#8217;s\u200c anyone&#8217;s for the taking,&#8221; Sununu wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sununu urged Republican \u200ccandidates to be more aggressive in challenging Trump and to \u200bpresent \u200ctheir own cases to the voters. However, he also emphasized that if these candidates fail to gain \u2064momentum, they should step aside to make room for a stronger alternative \u2062to Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;To win, they must break free of Mr. Trump&#8217;s drama, step out \u200bof his shadow, go on offense,\u2063 attack, and present their case. \u2063Then they need to see if they can catch fire this fall \u2014 and if they can&#8217;t, they need to step aside, because\u2063 winnowing down the field of candidates is the single best chance to \u200cstop Mr. Trump. Too much is at \u200bstake\u200c for us to have wishful candidacies,&#8221; Sununu said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sununu warned that nominating Trump for a third consecutive time would result in a challenging general \u200celection. He cited a poll showing\u200b that 63% of adults would not support Trump in 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Every candidate with an (R)\u2063 next to their name, from school board to the statehouse, will be left \u200cto answer for the electoral albatross at the top of the ticket,&#8221;\u200c Sununu wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sununu also highlighted the importance of engaging with voters in person, particularly in\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-former-trump-aide-sam-nunberg-trump-considering-2024-run-i-believe-that-he-will\/\" title=\"Exclusive -- Former Trump Aide Sam Nunberg: Trump 'Considering' 2024 Run, 'I Believe that He Will'\">early primary states<\/a> like \u200bIowa and \u2063New Hampshire. He noted that Trump&#8217;s poll numbers in these states are relatively low,\u200b creating an opportunity\u2063 for an alternative candidate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;In Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states that will vote in the 2024 Republican primaries, Mr. Trump \u2062is struggling. In both Iowa and \u200bNew Hampshire, he is consistently polling\u2063 in the \u2063low 40 percent range. The floor of his \u200dsupport may be high, but his \u200bceiling is low,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite his criticism of Trump, Sununu\u200b stated that he does not \u200cbelieve the former \u2062president will secure\u200b the 2024 Republican nomination.
