New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu called former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s White House campaign “at an absolute dead end” and advised him to drop out. CNN’s State of the Union featured Sununu, who supports former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley for the 2024 GOP presidential election. He portrayed the Republican Primary as a Haley-Trump race.
Sununu Accuses Trump of Republican Losses, Urges Christie to Exit Race, While Haley’s Remarks Add Complexity to GOP Primary
In an interview, Sununu blamed Trump for Republican losses in New Hampshire. He told us “The only person that wants Chris Christie to stay in the race is Donald Trump.” Sununu warned that Christie’s presence could cost Haley votes and potentially sway her victory.
Christie denied demands to drop his campaign, saying he is the only one running to beat Trump. Christie explained in a New Hampshire direct-to-camera ad last month that “I’m the only one saying Donald Trump is a liar.” Although well behind the previous president, Christie is committed to running.
In an interview earlier in the week, Nikki Haley excluded slavery when asked about the Civil War’s reason. Political adversaries and social media criticized this response. In response to Haley’s comments, Sununu complicated the GOP primary.
