Sununu Forecasts Haley Loss to Trump in New Hampshire, Says She Only Ever Wanted ‘Strong Second’ Place FinishWendell Husebø 18 Jan 2024
Former President Donald Trump will handily defeat former Gov. Nikki Haley in the Granite State, establishment New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) forecasted Wednesday, saying Haley only wanted a “strong second” place result.
Sununu’s comment represents a dramatic shift from previous statements of strong exceptions that Haley would “defeat” Trump in New Hampshire:
“Nikki Haley can … give Trump that defeat that no one thought was possible in the next few weeks. And I think that’s very likely to happen,” Sununu said in December.
“Oh, it’s an absolute win… If everyone that could vote in the primary comes out and votes, she’s going to win in a landslide. And that’s not an exaggeration,” he said in December.
“I think she wins here in New Hampshire,” he said in January.
After spending months claiming Haley would beat Trump, Sununu divulged what ABC News’ Rick Klein called a “serious downgrade of Haley’s expectations.”
“We always wanted to have a strong second. That’s the only expectation we ever laid out there,” Sununu told ABC News on Wednesday.
