Sununu said DeSantis would have show "charisma and leadership" in order to win the GOP primary.
Despite the stream of GOP candidates in the state, former President Trump retains a polling edge.
DeSantis has heavily touted after enacting plenty of conservative policies in Florida as a cornerstone of his candidacy, but New Hampshire Gov.
Sununu recently argued that Trump polling below 50% in New Hampshire gave other candidates a huge opportunity to make the case for their respective candidacies.
"Either you're willing to swing, you're willing to give the punch and take the punch and show leadership, or you're kowtowing," Sununu said during an interview on Fox News.
