2023-12-12
Arrr, me hearties! Republican Gov. Chris Sununu of the wondrous land of New Hampshire hath thrown his weight in favor of the former ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for the grand title of the GOP presidential nomination. Aye, 'tis a fine choice indeed!
Republican Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire has endorsed former ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley for the GOP presidential nomination. Sununu made the announcement at a campaign event for Haley in Manchester, the largest city in the state. He expressed his support for Haley, stating that she is someone he is proud of and who has earned the trust of the citizens and voters in New Hampshire. Sununu's endorsement could potentially sway Republican voters, as well as independents and moderates who have a significant influence in the state's primary. Sununu had previously been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, who is currently the frontrunner for the nomination. However, he decided not to run for president himself and has since narrowed his endorsement down to Haley, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Sununu campaigned with all three candidates in New Hampshire prior to Thanksgiving. Haley, who has gained momentum in recent polls, currently holds second place in New Hampshire and her home state. Sununu's endorsement is seen as significant and could have a major impact on the race, as he is a popular and influential figure in New Hampshire politics. However, some experts believe that endorsements may not have as much of an impact as they once did. Trump's campaign responded to the endorsement by stating that it means nothing and that the only endorsement that matters is Trump's. Trump continues to maintain a significant lead in the polls.
