New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu mentioned there’s an argument to be made that former President Donald Trump is “not the affect he thinks he’s” – and even the frontrunner of the Republican get together in 2024.
“When the previous president introduced that he’s working for president every week after the election, everybody went, ‘OK,’” Sununu informed CNN’s Dana Bash. “He’s saying he’s working for president at his most politically weak level. Proper? He’s doing it from a degree of weak spot, from a degree of no matter his personal agenda is, however it’s type of only a blip on the radar.”
In that very same interview, Sununu made it clear that he thought the way forward for the GOP was not Trump and even floated that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis might be a stronger presidential contender.
In contrast to different Republicans, the New Hampshire governor has not shied away from criticizing Trump. But he nonetheless escapes Trump’s well-known counterpunch. Sununu addressed how he established an easy relationship with Trump and his administration from the start of his presidency.
“Early on when he turned president, we made it actually clear each with him, we had a relationship and with the White Home that look, If he does issues that deserve credit score, I’ll be the primary one to face up and provides him credit score,” Sununu mentioned. “However when you’ve got a tone or one thing that I disagree with or he says issues or does issues I disagree with, I’m going to say that, too.”
