Chris \u2062Sununu: \u2064Trump&#8217;s Lack of Governor Endorsements Indicates a Problem<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-jim-jordan-gives-ultimatum-on-the-upcoming-electoral-college-showdown-video\/\" title=\"WATCH: Jim Jordan Gives Ultimatum On The Upcoming Electoral College Showdown (VIDEO)\">raised concerns<\/a> \u200don Sunday about \u200cformer President\u200d Donald Trump&#8217;s\u2064 level of support within the Republican party. Despite \u200bhis status as a former president, Trump\u2063 only has the endorsement of four Republican governors, which Sununu believes is\u2064 indicative of a problem.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;If he\u2019s a \u200bformer sitting incumbent president and the leader of the party \u200cand \u2064he only has\u2063 four Republican governors behind him, that tells you there\u2019s a problem,&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sununu made these remarks \u2064during an interview with\u200c Jon Karl on ABC&#8217;s\u2063 This Week. Karl had asked Sununu to \u2064respond to Gov. Kristi Noem&#8217;s (R-SD) recent endorsement of \u2064Trump, making her\u200c the fourth Republican governor to do so. Trump also enjoys the support\u200d of Govs. Henry\u200b McMaster (R-SC), Jim Justice (R-WV), and Mike Dunleavy (R-AK).<\/p>\n<p>However, there are two\u200d Republican governors, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)\u200b and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), who are \u200brunning against Trump for \u200dthe 2024 nomination. Gov. Kevin\u2064 Stitt (R-OK) has endorsed DeSantis, who is currently\u2062 second\u2064 to Trump in most polls.\u2062 Additionally, former \u2063Vice\u200c President Mike Pence has received the endorsement of Gov. \u200bEric Holcomb (R-IN).<\/p>\n<h3>Sununu&#8217;s\u200d Analysis of the Situation<\/h3>\n<p>Sununu explained that \u200bmany governors, like much of the Republican base, are currently observing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/four-dangerous-new-democrat-bills-that-you-probably-havent-heard-of\/\" title=\"Four Dangerous New Democrat Bills That You Probably Haven\u2019t Heard Of\">political landscape<\/a> and waiting to \u200dsee how things unfold. He believes that\u2062 as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-only-having-four-endorsements-from-gop-governors-shows-theres-a-problem-chris-sununu\/\" title=\"Chris Sununu believes that the fact that Trump has only received four endorsements from GOP governors indicates a significant issue.\">presidential\u200c primary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gabriel-amo-wins-democratic-primary-to-fill-cicillines-rhode-island-house-seat\/\" title=\"Gabriel Amo triumphs in Democratic primary for Cicilline's RI House seat.\">field narrows<\/a><\/a> down, non-Trump supporters will \u200dconsolidate their\u2063 support behind another candidate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;My sense is there&#8217;s a lot of governors kind of sitting on the sidelines saying &#8216;how \u200cdoes \u200dthis all play \u200cout?&#8217; just like \u2062most of the Republican base is,\u200b like \u200bthere&#8217;s a\u2064 lot of time to go, we&#8217;ve only had\u2064 one debate,&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sununu emphasized the significance of Trump&#8217;s lack \u2063of support within the Republican base, stating that \u200dit\u200b indicates a \u2064real problem. He\u200c believes that if the field narrows down to a one-on-one\u200b competition between Trump and another\u200c candidate, the other candidate will likely come\u2063 out on top by \u200dthe time of the convention.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Sununu&#8217;s comments, \u200cTrump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung highlighted the\u2064 number of endorsements Trump has received from governors,\u2063 U.S. Senators, and U.S.\u200c Representatives, claiming that Trump has\u2063 more endorsements than any\u200c other person in the race.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sununu, while Trump had good\u200d ideas as president, he failed to deliver \u200bon them. He believes that the Republican party \u2062needs to find a conservative leader who can effectively fulfill\u200d their mission.<\/p>\n<p>As the governor\u200c of New Hampshire, \u2063the first-in-the-nation primary \u2064state, and\u2062 with\u2063 his significant popularity, Sununu&#8217;s endorsement could carry considerable weight. When asked if he plans to make an endorsement ahead \u2063of the Republican primary, \u2064Sununu confirmed that he will, \u2062but he did not disclose which candidates\u2064 are on his &#8220;short list.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
