Sununu says it will be harder for Trump to beat Harris than Biden

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said Sunday it will be harder for former President Trump to defeat Vice President Harris in November than President Biden.

Sununu noted on CNN’s “State of the Union” that female voters are coming out stronger for Harris than they would be for Biden and urged Trump to focus more on talking about economic issues to earn support from suburban women. He said that there’s “no doubt” that it will be harder for Trump to beat Harris in November than defeating Biden.

“Because, you know, she was able to kind of establish this resurgence, and her team has done a very good job of kind of avoiding the issues, trying to make people believe that she hasn’t been there for four years. And they’ve done a very good job of that at the same time, kind of capitalizing on Trump’s reaction,” he said.

Earlier on the show, CNN’s Jake Tapper played a clip from a recent Trump press conference, where the former president said he is “entitled” to make personal attacks against Harris. Sununu suggested Trump should spend time talking to independent and female voters to win in November.

“They knew that the former president can be a very reactionary person, and I saw that clip that you just played, Trump can say, ‘Look, I’m entitled to personal attacks.’ Nobody cares what you’re entitled to. Do what you have to do to get the votes and win,” Sununu said.

“This is an election. It’s about delivering those votes, talking to those independent voters, especially those moms, those suburban females, that typically wouldn’t have come out strong for Biden. You got to get them back on the team,” he added.

He also said that if Trump could focus on discussing the issues, he could win in November.

“So if he sticks to what matters, he sticks to what made this country great, he can be very successful in November,” he said.
