New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, a Republican, has stated that he believes Vice President Kamala Harris poses a more significant challenge to Republican nominee Donald Trump than President Joe Biden. In a recent interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sununu suggested that Harris and her team’s resurgence has made it more difficult for Trump to secure a victory. Sununu highlighted the effectiveness of Harris’s team in capitalizing on Trump’s reactions while skillfully avoiding contentious issues.
Despite previously criticizing Trump, Sununu, who now endorses Trump as the GOP nominee, believes that Trump should shift his focus to addressing key issues to attract voters. He emphasized the significant difference in Trump’s polling numbers between male and female voters, suggesting that Trump should remind voters he is running against “the most liberal and most unpopular vice president in history.” He further advises Trump to reach out to independent voters and suburban women, who might not have been enthusiastic for Biden.
Sununu’s comments come at a time when recent polls indicate Harris leading Trump in key battleground states. This shift has been attributed to Harris’s effective campaign strategy and her appeal to a broader demographic of voters. While Sununu had previously expressed support for Trump despite his belief that the former president played a role in the January 6th, 2021, Capitol attack, his recent remarks signal a change in his stance. Sununu underscores the importance of the GOP focusing on the issues and the voters, highlighting the need for a strategic approach to the upcoming election.
Sununu’s comments offer insight into the evolving political landscape and the challenges facing both Republican and Democratic candidates in the upcoming election. They also shed light on the changing dynamics within the Republican Party, with figures like Sununu balancing their support for the GOP nominee with their own political aspirations and concerns.
