I think that the change in the campaign has kind of fired him up to go against her, personally.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Sununu said he agreed with Republicans like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Vivek-Ramaswamy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Vivek Ramaswamy<\/a> and congressional lawmakers who have called on Trump and other GOP members to &ldquo;stop with the personal attacks.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have too much that we can win on when it comes to issues of policies,&rdquo; the New Hampshire governor said, adding, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s not helpful at all&rdquo; when asked about those who have called Harris a &ldquo;DEI candidate&rdquo; and commented on her gender.<\/p>\n<p>Vance has also been in the spotlight for comments he <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/vance-argued-higher-tax-rate-childless-americans-2021\/story?id=112284318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>made in 2021<\/a> about how people with no children should pay more in taxes and recently about &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RonFilipkowski\/status\/1815503440983867598\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>childless cat ladies<\/a>&rdquo; who are &ldquo;miserable at their own lives and the choices that they&rsquo;ve made, and so they wanna make the rest of the country miserable, too.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think those comments were more helpful,&rdquo; Sununu said Sunday. &ldquo;They &mdash; again, stick to issues. Those are personal attacks that can alienate a huge part of that independent voter block that you need.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Sununu attributed criticism of Vance to his inexperience in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Congress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Congress<\/a> as a freshman senator who was elected in the 2022 midterms. He said Vance and Trump need to discuss topics such as inflation and rising crime to connect with voters.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Those are the things that will drive them to go make a vote for Trump in November and if you stick on those issues, stay away from the insults,&rdquo; Sununu said. &ldquo;I think, look, he&rsquo;s a younger guy. I think this is all very, very new to him. I mean, he&rsquo;s only been in Washington 18 months. He&rsquo;s an outsider himself.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think he&rsquo;s surrounding himself obviously with a lot of the folks in the campaign that kind of get a feel that energy off of those personal attacks, but that ain&rsquo;t what&rsquo;s going to drive the vote,&rdquo; the governor added.<\/p>\n<p>Vance recently apologized to cats for his comment but reiterated support for his prior remarks on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q5eKcsdOf7k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Megyn Kelly Show<\/em><\/a> on SiriusXM on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment.
