Gov. Chris Sununu said he would do"everything" he can to"help narrow" the Republican presidential primary field to avoid having former President Donald Trump jeopardize GOP electoral chances in the 2024 election.
Sununu urged Republican candidates to go after Trump more and go on the offense, but he said that if candidates are unable to"catch fire," they should step aside to make room for a more viable alternative to Trump. The New Hampshire Republican warned that if the GOP nominates Trump for president for a third consecutive time, it will be a bruising general election. He cited an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll that shows 63% of adults would probably or definitely not support Trump in 2024.
Sununu also said candidates must engage with voters in the Granite State"face to face" to earn their vote and noted that Trump's weaker poll performance in early primary states, such as Iowa and New Hampshire, could be an opening for an alternative candidate.
