Sununu was on Fox News’ The Faulkner Focus, where he was asked to comment on rallies in his state and about now former presidential nominees who endorsed Trump. Sununu bluntly said, “Losers,” and added. “Congratulations, Donald Trump, you’re surrounded by losers.”

On Truth Social, the former President and likely GOP nominee for the 2024 election wrote, “Why does Fox keep putting New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu on???” 

“Bad TV”

Trump continued, “Every time I mention his name at a Rally, they BOOO like crazy. He’s all jacked up on something, but he ran for President, without having the courage to announce, and did really poorly. TO have this loser on so much is really bad TV.”

Sununu fired back

The New Hampshire Governor posted a screenshot of Trump’s message and added, “I suppose it’s tough keeping up with the conversation given your advanced age. Maybe try subtitles next time. Thanks for watching.”

During his interview with Harris Faulkner, Sununu said, “This is the guy that was blaming Nikki Haley for Jan. 6 … If he’s off the teleprompter, he can barely keep a cogent thought,” and taunting the former President added, “This guy is nearly 80 years old.”

The host said, “He’s 77,” but Sununu did not have any of it, so he quipped, “Yeah, that’s nearly 80. We’ll do math later.” The host joked back, “Oh, you are so snarky.”

While on MSNBC, the four-time Governor, who is not looking for re-election, spoke to Jen Psaki and said, “No question Trump on the ticket hurts our Senate races, our gubernatorial races.” He added, “That’s why I love Nikki Haley so much, because she doesn’t just win, she wins the swing states; she makes it easy to win everything else.”

Sununu continued, “We should have had big wins in ’22, you know that,” noting, “We didn’t, because Trump was still the standard-bearer of the party. He was still putting out his candidates.”

“Threat to democracy”

“If you think Trump’s a threat to democracy, you participate in democracy; you beat them at the ballot box,” Sununu said, and added, “Don’t wait for court cases and all that other stuff to take them down. It’s never happened before.”

Sununu talked to CNN’s Jack Tapper, where he declared, “Trump has no energy — the guy can barely read a teleprompter right now.”

“‘Public service” not “public career”

Despite enjoying popularity in the Granite State, Sununu explained why he wouldn’t seek re-election, saying, “They call it ‘public service,’ not ‘public career.'”

Chance for Democrats

University of New Hampshire political science professor Dante Scala told HuffPost, “Before Sununu, the Democrats had a lock on the governor’s office for a dozen years. Sununu changed all that”.” Scala added, “For the first time since 2016, we will be more likely to see a competitive race for Governor. Democrats will have their best shot in a while.”
