During a recent interview, Governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, addressed the controversy surrounding Nikki Haley's comments about endorsing the eventual Republican candidate. Sununu criticized the double standard applied to Haley, pointing out that even President Donald Trump has not committed to endorsing a candidate. He emphasized that Haley's focus is on winning votes in various states and participating in upcoming primaries.
Sununu highlighted Haley's strong performance in recent polls, indicating her potential to perform well in the general election. He stressed the importance of winning the general election and expressed support for candidates who can lead the party to victory.
Regarding Haley's future in the race, Sununu suggested that her campaign would assess the situation after Super Tuesday and make strategic decisions based on resources and upcoming primaries. He underscored the significance of allowing voters to decide the nominee rather than party elites.
Furthermore, Sununu emphasized the Republican Party's goal of winning elections and avoiding losses in general elections. He expressed a desire for strong candidates who can unite the party and secure victories in November.
In a light-hearted moment, Sununu joked about his future aspirations, mentioning a hypothetical role as the defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots. Despite the humor, he reiterated his commitment to his political career and the aspirations he holds.
