Sununu's New Hampshire endorsement of Nikki Haley an 'energizing' moment against Trump

Gov. Chris Sununu's (R-NH) endorsement of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Tuesday gave her campaign a much-needed boost as Haley battles the 2024 Republican field to become former President Donald Trump's chief competitor.

The former South Carolina governor is in a heated battle with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for second place in the primary. Sununu's endorsement serves as a counterweight to Gov. Kim Reynolds's (R-IA) endorsement of DeSantis in Iowa and likely blunts former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's campaign as it barrels towards a make-or-break moment in next year's New Hampshire primary.

Yet political experts cautioned that Trump's advantageous lead is still a formidable path that Haley will need to cross sometime during the first four early nominating states. If she or DeSantis can't defeat Trump in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, or South Carolina, the former president could well be on the way to the nomination.

"This is a significant feather in her cap for New Hampshire. And as she continues to do well in Iowa, this will only be the energizing effect in New Hampshire," Timothy Head, executive director of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, told the Washington Examiner about the Sununu endorsement. "Momentum going into South Carolina is all she's really looking for. And I think this at least gives the resources at her disposal to utilize."

"RDS is asked about Sununu backing Haley and he doesn’t trash him.
Instead he compliments his campaign skills and says he is a great governor.
That’s a level of strength, professionalism, and coolness that Trump will never possess.

Where is your quote  from @corbe ?

Can one person truly name a true conservative legilslator from the N.E United States?

Ron DeSantis on Chris Sununu backing Nikki Haley:

Chris Sununu was singing the praises of Ron DeSantis as recently as late-October:  “I am tired of losing,” Sununu said before introducing DeSantis to the standing-room-only crowd in Rye, New Hampshire. “You want to win in November? Then let’s get behind a winner.”

Sounds kind of disingenuous to me.

Ron DeSantis responds to New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu endorsing Nikki Haley:

"Well unlike some people running, if someone doesn't endorse me, I'm not going to go trash them.

"Even a campaigner as good as Chris is not going to be able to paper over Nikki being an establishment candidate. I mean, she's getting funded by liberal Democrats" like Reid Hoffman and Jamie Dimon.

@NikkiHaley
Kicked off an early morning with @ChrisSununu hitting the airwaves on @WZID, @drewhampshire, & @ChrisRyan603 before heading to the Red Arrow Diner in Concord. We're barnstorming New Hampshire working to earn every Granite Stater's vote—we'll see you all in Newport & Keene today!

Ewww.

What happens if Nikki Haley wins New Hampshire?

Or what if DeSantis wins Iowa and Nikki Haley wins New Hampshire?

[libertybele]

I'm still predicting that DeSantis will take IA and Haley will take New Hampshire... and then the true race is on.  Trump will self-destruct -- and then there's the 90+ felonies he's facing and who knows what else the left will throw at him.

Just my opinion.

You posted before I could make my prediction -- but I believe you are correct -- DeSantis will take IA and Haley- NH

[LMAO]

I make no predictions when it comes to the GOP primary except Trump will whine  how he was robbed if he loses any state and his supporters will join him in that

That’s a very safe prediction

As trumped up (no pun) as these charges are and are a political witch hunt, the MSM is banking on the news that an actual Trump convicition will cost him 10-20% of the middle tier of voting ideology.  The sheeple are that dense, and it is a very real scenario.

I'd place my very safe bet on it.

There are also a significant amount of people that will vote for him just because of that for revenge - not because he'll make anyone's life better.

I wandered to MSNBC and left wing sites to gauge the response to the Hunter Biden news and they use the same terminology in describing what's going on with Hunter as is used with Trump's legal issues.

Terms like "Orwellian" "witch hunt" "Stalinesque" "can't beat Biden at the ballot box so the GOP is conducting political lawfare"

LOL...the Bullshit is the same

When Kim Reynolds endorsed DeSantis, Trump went on a rampage. Many, many angry rants and accusations over several days/weeks.
But Trump hasn't said much at all about Sununu endorsing Haley... 🤔

Haley will be Trump’s running mate. She is only running against DeSantis.
