Dean Phillips&#8217;s Rising Popularity in\u200c New Hampshire<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) revealed in \u2063an interview\u2063 with the Washington Examiner that Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) \u200cis gaining significant traction among Democratic\u200c and undeclared voters in New Hampshire. Sununu described Phillips as\u2062 a relatively\u200b unknown lawmaker who is making a splash and capturing attention with his compelling case for why the party should move on from President\u200d Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s definitely \u2062gaining traction.\u200b He&#8217;s definitely making \u200da splash,&#8221; the governor told the Washington Examiner.\u2063 &#8220;From what I understand \u2014 I&#8217;ve heard some people comment that he&#8217;s \u200dvery good on \u200cthe stump. He gives a great speech. He&#8217;s answering questions directly. So \u2063from what\u2062 I understand, he&#8217;s doing \u200ba good job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Major Republican Donors Return to Trump\u200c for 2024 Despite Turning on \u200bHim After 2020<\/h3>\n<p>Sununu acknowledged\u200d that he hasn&#8217;t personally attended Phillips&#8217;s rallies and \u200bevents, but he has heard \u200drumblings \u2062about the lawmaker&#8217;s controversial campaign against \u200bBiden.\u2063 Phillips\u200b has focused \u200bmuch of\u2063 his campaign in New Hampshire\u2063 since\u2062 Biden did not file \u200cfor \u2064the Democratic primary \u200bin \u200dthe state. This decision by the Biden campaign comes amidst a feud between \u2064the early primary state and the Democratic National Party over the order of primary elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know they&#8217;re \u200cgoing to\u200b try a write-in effort,&#8221; Sununu\u200c commented on \u2063Biden&#8217;s strategy in \u200bNew Hampshire.\u200b &#8220;Anytime you&#8217;re \u2063trying to do a write-in\u200c effort \u2062for an\u2064 incumbent \u200dpresident, that&#8217;s just kind of pathetic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According \u2064to Sununu, Phillips&#8217;s candidacy\u200c has\u200c made Democrats realize that &#8220;Biden can now\u2064 lose.&#8221; He believes that Biden&#8217;s performance\u200d is so poor\u2063 that\u2063 he could potentially lose to even Trump on a national level.<\/p>\n<p>Sununu also predicted that neither\u2063 Biden nor \u2063former President\u200c Donald \u2064Trump would be the Democratic and \u200dRepublican nominees in 2024. He stated, &#8220;Clearly, every \u200dAmerican does not want Trump or Biden. And I don&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s going to be Trump and Biden\u200b on the ticket.&#8221; Instead, he suggested that Republicans \u2063could rally\u200c behind \u200canother option once it becomes \u200cclear \u2064that someone \u200dcan gather enough support to defeat Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the Democratic Party, Sununu expressed \u2063skepticism\u200b about a third-party\u200b bid being successful. He predicted that &#8220;something is going to happen, such\u200b that Biden isn&#8217;t on that \u2064ticket in &#8217;24&#8221; \u200cdue to the party&#8217;s &#8220;mischievous\u2062 and conniving&#8221; nature. He suggested that they may work\u2062 with the Bidens directly\u2064 to \u2062convince Biden to bow \u200dout, citing the risks of moving forward with an unpopular nominee.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s campaign responded to Sununu&#8217;s comments on Phillips&#8217;s progress \u200din New \u200dHampshire. Rapid response director Ammar Moussa dismissed Sununu&#8217;s opinion, \u200cstating, &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure the \u200dMAGA Republican governor of New Hampshire, who has\u2064 been \u2064wrong about everything, is the best barometer for what Democratic voters anywhere are thinking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/only-22-of-cable-news-is-news-study\/\" title=\"Only 22% of Cable \u2018News\u2019 is News: Study\">recent poll conducted<\/a> by the University of \u200bNew Hampshire Survey Center, Phillips garnered\u200b 10% support, compared to \u2064Biden&#8217;s 65%, less than \u200dthree weeks after launching his campaign. This double-digit\u2063 support for Phillips is \u2064impressive \u200cconsidering his campaign&#8217;s youth and his limited name recognition among voters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What \u2064role has Dean Phillips&#8217;s straightforward approach and willingness to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/longtime-ethiopian-diplomat-resigns-in-protest-of-countrys-genocide\/\" title=\"Longtime Ethiopian Diplomat Resigns in Protest of Country\u2019s Genocide\">directly answer questions<\/a> played in \u200chis\u200d appeal \u200bto voters?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200bMpshire. &#8220;But\u200d \u2062I\u2064 think Dean Phillips is\u2062 \u200cmaking a strong case for \u200cthe party to move on.\u2062 Biden&#8217;s \u200cbeen \u2063in \u2063politics \u2063for\u2062 \u200ca long\u2064 time, and \u200bI\u2062 think\u200c \u200cPhillips is \u200ctapping \u2064into the frustration \u200dthat many voters \u2063have with the current administration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Phillips&#8217;s rising popularity in New Hampshire may be attributed\u200b to\u200d his strong messaging and ability to\u2064 connect \u2064with voters on issues that\u200d resonate with them.\u2062 Sununu believes that Phillips&#8217;s straightforward approach \u200band\u200b willingness to directly answer questions has played \u2062a significant role\u2062 in \u200chis appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not attending Phillips&#8217;s\u2064 events, \u200bSununu\u200d is aware\u2063 of the impact the lawmaker is\u2062 having in the state.\u200d Phillips&#8217;s decision to focus on New Hampshire has allowed him \u2062to gain \u2063visibility\u200d and build support among Democratic and undeclared voters.\u200c With Biden\u200d not participating in the\u200c primary,\u200c Phillips has been able to seize the opportunity to present an alternative vision for the \u2063Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Sununu acknowledged\u2063 that\u2064 some Republican donors\u2063 who had turned \u200don Trump after \u2063the 2020 election are now returning to support him for \u2064a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-blasts-bidens-economic-policies-in-appeal-to-michigan-voters-sending-auto-workers-to-the-unemployment-line\/\" title=\"Trump criticizes Biden's economic policies, warns of job losses for auto workers in Michigan.\">potential 2024 presidential\u200d run<\/a>. Sununu did not\u2062 provide details on which donors have returned, but he emphasized that\u200d while\u2064 there may have been disagreements\u200b in the past, many\u200b Republicans still\u200c see Trump as a strong candidate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There have \u2062been some folks\u2062 \u2062who have kind of \u200dleft the fold, so to\u2064 speak, \u2062and have come back,&#8221; Sununu said. &#8220;You\u2063 know, politics\u2064 is politics.
