Republican governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, has strongly criticized Donald Trump's extreme rhetoric about immigrants. On the recent statements from Trump, he said, 'It's awful. It's absolutely awful, but unfortunately with Donald Trump, it shouldn't be surprising.' He indicated that Trump was attempting to ensure the loyalty of his fan base, especially as Nikki Haley is making headway in the polls.
Plus, Sununu also stated that by employing such aggressive language, the former President is trying to distract people from questioning his unfulfilled campaign promises of securing the border. The Governor emphasized that the situation is a crisis, which most Republicans and Americans want to be rectified, lamenting that Trump did nothing about it during his term.
Furthermore, Sununu pointed out the perils of having Trump back in office, and strongly argued in favor of Haley, noting that her rising popularity in New Hampshire could be a sign of a potential surge in other states. He predicted that the 40-point race could soon turn into a close race between Haley and Trump.
When questioned about Haley's apparent silence on Trump's divisive language, Sununu defended her approach, maintaining that she focused on presenting her credentials and vision for the future rather than getting involved in attacking others. He added that Haley's message of accountability, effective governance, and productive congressional collaboration is resonating strongly with voters.
To close the gap in the race, Sununu suggested that Nikki Haley needs to capitalize on voters who are looking for fresh and progressive ideas, hinting that support from undecided voters and a new generation of conservative leadership could provide the momentum she needs.
The Governor concluded on a hopeful note, stating that with ongoing town halls and personal interactions, Haley could secure a substantial shift in voter sentiment.
