New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said Monday that he will not seek the presidency in 2024.
In 2016, Trump was able to win New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary with just 35% of the vote because more than a half dozen Republican opponents divided up the remainder.
“No one can stop candidates from entering this race, but candidates with no path to victory must have the discipline to get out. Anyone polling in the low single digits by this winter needs to have the courage to hang it up and head home,” Sununu wrote. “Too many other candidates who have entered this race are simply running to be Trump’s vice president.”
Sununu, who was recently elected to his fourth two-year term as New Hampshire governor, did not rule out a future run after 2024. By not running next year, he said, he planned to speak with “a little more of an unleashed voice” to make the Republican Party bigger. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
