This could have been Vice President Kamala Harris’ night. But instead, it was Gov. Chris Sununu’s.
The cautious vice president, perhaps the Washington politician most needing a PR re-boot, declined an opportunity to represent the Biden administration at the first Gridiron Club dinner in three years. Instead, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo eagerly grabbed the featured slot.
But of the three ambitious politicians who headlined the white-tie dinner that is a longtime Washington’s social-political fixture – Raimondo, Sununu and Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin -- the New Hampshire governor attracted the most attention. He did so with a series of anti-Donald Trump lines that will either further his reputed White House ambitions – or doom them.
