He’s jumping, along with all the other Republicans in moral free fall. “Supporting a man McConnell has clearly deemed unfit for the office may make McConnell craven, cynical or absurd, but he’s not alone in his decision.” Far from it. Christie at least isn’t supporting Trump. And it’s a reason that he can hold his head higher than Sununu, Barr or McConnell can. I’m asking Christie to remember that less than six months ago, he called Trump “a dictator.” And seemed to believe that.

Chris Sununu said he would support former President Donald Trump’s presidential bid this week, falling in line behind the presumptive Republican nominee after former South Carolina Gov. I’m going to support Donald Trump,” Sununu told WMUR on Thursday. Sununu’s support for Trump follows months of campaigning and being a vocal advocate for Haley, who exited the Republican presidential race on Wednesday following Trump’s dominance on Super Tuesday. Pressed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in January if he would support Trump even if he was a convicted felon, the New Hampshire governor answered, “I will support the Republican nominee, absolutely.”“This shouldn’t shock anybody. If you’re a Republican that can’t win Georgia of November ‘24, you have no shot, and he’s proven that,” Sununu said last summer.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump made several false claims in a speech Tuesday night after CNN and other media outlets projected that he would win the Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire. CNN also watched rival candidate Nikki Haley’s Tuesday night speech in New Hampshire; Haley’s claims were either accurate or too general to fact check. He lost the 2020 election fair and square to Joe Biden, by a 306 to 232 margin in the Electoral College, and also lost New Hampshire in that election. Chris Sununu, a supporter of Haley, Trump said that because of Sununu’s incompetence, “in the Republican primary, they accepted Democrats to vote. In fact, I think they had 4,000 Democrats – Democrats before October 6 – they already voted.

But she must still prove she can make a head-to-head duel with the ex-president last through Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary and beyond, after Florida Gov. But Haley faces an existential question for her own campaign Tuesday. “They’re all all coming with us,” Trump noted with satisfaction at a rally in Rochester, New Hampshire, on Sunday night. An unexpectedly high turnout of undeclared voters powered late Arizona Sen. John McCain to a shock victory in the 2000 GOP primary against George W. Bush. But Haley’s problem is that most Republican voters may not want what she’s offering.

☆ Chris Sununu, Nikki Haley’s ‘Best Friend,’ Won’t Stop Believing

As he introduced Nikki Haley at a bar in Milford, N.H., Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire was in a comfortable place — surrounded by a swarm of media cameras and local voters. He gave a whirlwind recap of his day crisscrossing the state with Ms. Haley and urged supporters to vote before passing the mic. Mr. Sununu’s endorsement of Ms. Haley has not been like most endorsements. Part hype man, part campaign aide, part spokesman, part surrogate, part “new best friend” (his words), Mr. Sununu has been omnipresent on Ms. Haley’s campaign.

Seven years later, Ms. Ayotte is looking to make a comeback. If Mr. Trump is the nominee in 2024, “Republicans will lose again. This is indisputable, and I am not willing to let it happen without a fight,” Mr. Sununu wrote in The Washington Post last month. Especially ones, like Ms. Ayotte, who have a somewhat … troubled history with the fealty-obsessed Mr. Trump. Republicans felt confident Mr. Sununu had the juice to win, no matter who topped the ticket next year.

☆ Growing GOP field isn’t selling primary voters on why they should ditch Trump

CNN —The Republican presidential field is growing almost by the day, but no candidate has yet offered an effective answer to GOP primary voters on the race’s most compelling question – why they should ditch Donald Trump. Nikki Haley has been on the trail for weeks, appearing in a CNN town hall on Sunday in Iowa. No Republican voters will weigh in for at least six months in early state contests. There’s even less evidence that GOP voters believe that Trump’s legal problems disqualify him from serving as their nominee. In an NBC News poll in April, 68% of Republican voters believed that investigations into Trump were politically motivated attempts to stop him.
