New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said Monday he will not seek the Republican nomination for president in 2024 after publicly flirting with a run for several months.
“We’ve taken the last six months to kind of look at things, where everything is, and I’ve made the decision not to run for president on the Republican ticket in 2024,” Sununu, 48, told CNN. “Obviously, a lot goes into that decision, but it’s been quite an adventure, but not the end of the adventure by any means.”
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will announce his campaign in the Granite State Tuesday, while former Vice President Mike Pence and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum will formally enter the race Wednesday. “I don’t mind who gets into the field,” Sununu told CNN’s Dana Bash.” But, given where the polls are right now, every candidate needs to understand their responsibility of getting out — and getting out quickly — it it’s not working. And I can be more candid about that, as the governor of the first-in-the-nation primary [state], calling candidates out, saying ‘Look, you gave it a try, you’re still in low-single digits, you gotta get out of the race.
“If we do what we did in 2016,” the governor added, “you’re gonna have somebody win this nomination with 35% of the Republican support. That’s not where we should be as a party. That’s not where anybody wants to be.”
