Chris \u200bSununu&#8217;s reported plan to endorse former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for president. In a scathing statement, the party&#8217;s chairman, Ray Buckley, labeled both Sununu and Haley as &#8220;MAGA extremists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;No matter how much Nikki Haley or Chris Sununu try to spin Granite Staters, the reality is they&#8217;re\u2063 both MAGA extremists who spent years cozying up to\u2064 Donald Trump,&#8221; Buckley said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s be absolutely clear: There&#8217;s\u200b nothing moderate, reasonable, or electable about their agenda. Granite Staters know the stakes in 2024, and no \u2062endorsement is going to save Haley from the massive rejection she&#8217;ll \u200bface in New Hampshire next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Buckley&#8217;s statement further accused Haley of advocating for a\u2064 nationwide strict abortion ban and criticized her support for Don Bolduc, a former New Hampshire Republican Senate nominee whom Buckley referred to\u2064 as an &#8220;election denier.&#8221; Sununu also endorsed Bolduc.<\/p>\n<p>The endorsement is expected to take place at Haley&#8217;s town hall in Manchester, New Hampshire, with Sununu in attendance. While the governor&#8217;s\u2063 office did not confirm the endorsement to the Washington Examiner, it did \u2064confirm Sununu&#8217;s\u2063 presence.<\/p>\n<p>Sununu has been\u200c actively participating in campaign events for\u2062 various Republican candidates in New\u200b Hampshire, including Haley, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Despite his significant lead in both national and New Hampshire polls, Sununu ruled out endorsing Trump for the nomination last week, maintaining that Trump won&#8217;t be\u2062 the Republican nominee.<\/p>\n<p>Haley currently holds second place in New Hampshire \u200dpolls\u200b with 18.7% \u200dof the vote, \u200ctrailing behind Trump&#8217;s 45.7%. Christie is polling in third place at 11.3%, according to RealClearPolitics.<\/p>\n<p>Sununu emphasized that his endorsement decision would be based on identifying\u2063 a &#8220;great leader&#8221; for the country, not solely\u2064 on who could defeat President Joe Biden in 2024. He believes that Haley, DeSantis, and Christie all meet that requirement.<\/p>\n<p>The Granite State&#8217;s primary, scheduled \u2062for January 23, 2024, will be the first primary \u200dof the 2024 election season, following the caucuses in Iowa. DeSantis secured \u200cthe coveted endorsement of Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA) in Iowa last month, where he is polling \u2064second.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more \u2063from the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does the New Hampshire Democratic \u2064Party&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/emails-show-cbs-had-desantis-answers-to-questions-before-segment-aired-ignored-warning-from-democrat\/\" title=\"Emails Show CBS Had DeSantis\u2019 Answers To Questions Before Segment Aired, Ignored Warning From Democrat\">strong reaction<\/a> to Gov. Sununu&#8217;s endorsement of\u200d Nikki Haley reflect \u200cthe growing divide between progressive\u200d and conservative factions within the party?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  G moderate about either of them, \u2064and their policies did not align with the values of the people of New Hampshire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The \u2064strong \u200bcondemnation from the New Hampshire Democratic Party highlights the growing divide between the state&#8217;s progressive Democratic base and the more conservative faction within the\u200c party. While Gov. Sununu has been seen as a relatively moderate Republican in\u2063 comparison \u2063to other prominent\u2062 figures, his endorsement of \u200bNikki Haley, who is closely associated with the Trump administration, has caused outrage among Democratic supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki Haley served as the \u200cU.S. \u2062Ambassador to the United Nations\u200c under the Trump \u200dadministration and has been vocal \u2064about her support for many of Trump&#8217;s policies. Her close ties to the former\u200d president and her unwavering loyalty to him \u200dhave made her a highly \u2062controversial figure \u200bamong Democrats.\u2062 The \u2063New Hampshire Democratic Party&#8217;s criticism of Haley as \u200ba &#8220;MAGA extremist&#8221; reflects the \u200bparty&#8217;s concerns \u200dabout her political views and\u2064 alignment with the Trump agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The endorsement from Gov. Sununu \u2063is particularly significant as New Hampshire holds the first-in-the-nation primary, making it a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-state-republicans-lead-democrats-by-six-points-on-generic-ballot\/\" title=\"Poll: State Republicans Lead Democrats by Six Points on Generic Ballot\">crucial battleground state<\/a> for the \u2062Democratic presidential candidates. The governor&#8217;s support could potentially\u2062 mobilize a substantial number of Republican voters in favor \u200bof Haley&#8217;s candidacy. This could pose a significant challenge for the Democratic nominee, who\u2064 would need\u200c strong support from independent voters and moderate Republicans to secure victory in the state.<\/p>\n<p>The New Hampshire Democratic\u2063 Party&#8217;s strong reaction to Gov. Sununu&#8217;s endorsement underscores the party&#8217;s\u2062 commitment to\u2063 progressive values and opposition to the Trump administration&#8217;s policies. The party&#8217;s statement indicates \u200da determination to distance themselves \u2064from any association with the previous administration and its allies. It also serves\u2063 as a warning to Democratic voters about the potential \u200dconsequences of supporting candidates\u2064 who are closely aligned with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u2062 the \u200bNew Hampshire Democratic Party&#8217;s criticism of Gov. Sununu \u2062himself suggests a further erosion of trust and cooperation between the\u200d two \u2063major parties in\u2063 the state. This growing divide between Democrats and Republicans \u200din New\u2063 Hampshire mirrors the political polarization seen\u2064 on a \u200bnational level, heightened by the contentious Trump \u200bpresidency.<\/p>\n<p>In light of this\u2064 controversy, the New\u200b Hampshire Democratic Party will likely double down on\u2062 their \u200befforts\u2064 to mobilize their\u200c base and rally support for their preferred candidate. \u200cThey will emphasize the need to elect a candidate who represents the progressive values of the state and who is committed to undoing \u2064the policies of \u2062the\u2064 Trump era.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Gov. Sununu&#8217;s\u2062 endorsement of Nikki Haley has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pelosi-says-it-would-have-been-ridiculous-to-include-two-gop-members-on-january-6-committee\/\" title=\"Pelosi Says It Would Have Been \u2018Ridiculous\u2019 To Include Two GOP Members On January 6 Committee\">sparked fierce criticism<\/a> from the \u200dNew Hampshire Democratic Party. The party&#8217;s strong reaction \u2062reflects their commitment \u200cto progressive values and their opposition to the Trump\u200d administration. \u2064As\u200b the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-holds-big-fundraising-lead-over-gop-field\/\" title=\"Trump has significant fundraising advantage over other GOP candidates.\">primary elections draw closer<\/a>, it remains to be seen how this endorsement will impact the political landscape\u2064 in New Hampshire and the \u200dbroader Democratic race for the presidency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Hampshire Democratic Party labeled Gov.
