New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, a supporter of Nikki Haley, expressed his agreement with Haley's recent criticism of former President Donald Trump's foreign policy decisions. Haley had condemned Trump for not denouncing Russian leader Vladimir Putin in the wake of the death of Alexei Navalny, accusing Trump of siding with a dictator who kills political opponents and arrests American journalists. Sununu echoed these sentiments, highlighting that Trump's actions on the international stage have raised concerns among conservatives, Republicans, and military personnel.
Despite his reservations about Trump's foreign policy, Sununu emphasized his commitment to supporting the Republican nominee, stating that as the Republican governor of New Hampshire, he would back the party's choice. He acknowledged that Trump's strong polling numbers were partly due to his ability to portray himself as a victim and capitalize on legal battles for political gain.
Regarding the upcoming election, Sununu noted that many voters were drawn to Trump's anti-establishment image and perceived willingness to fight against elitism and liberal influence. He also highlighted the appeal of Nikki Haley's candidacy, emphasizing her ability to connect with voters and present a strong opposition to Trump.
When questioned about choosing between Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden, Sununu expressed his belief that Trump would be a better president, citing concerns about Biden's longevity in office and the influence of Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite his criticisms of Trump's international stance, Sununu reiterated his support for the former president, emphasizing the need for change in Washington and the importance of electing leaders with a track record of accountability, such as governors.
