Sununu suggests he’d vote for Trump over Biden
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) suggested in an interview published on Tuesday that he would back former President Trump over President Biden if the 2024 election became a rematch between both men.
Puck News’s Tara Palmeri pressed Sununu, a prominent critic of the former president about who he would vote for during next year’s presidential election during a podcast interview on “Somebody’s Gotta Win With Tara Palmeri”.
“I’m a Republican,” Sununu responded when Palmeri asked if he would vote for Trump against Biden.
When Palmeri pressed Sununu again, the New Hampshire governor predicted the election won’t be between Trump and Biden.
“The party that chooses to move on from Trump or Biden first wins. If the Democrats choose before the Republicans to move on from Biden — before the Republicans choose to move on from Trump — Democrats will win. America is just looking for something new — a new generation, enough of this old, old-school crap, we need to move forward. And so any new candidate on either side is going to win this election,” he added later.
Sununu’s comments come as national polling shows the 2024 election increasingly looking like a rematch between Trump and Biden, with some polling from New York Times and Siena College released in early November showing Trump surpassing Biden in five out six battleground states.
Sununu has not said yet who he will endorse in the GOP primary, but he has been on the campaign trail with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
