From the Washington Free Beacon: President Donald Trump issued a forceful endorsement of former New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu, who has been mulling a run for Senate in the Granite State in 2026.
Incumbent Democratic senator Jeanne Shaheen is retiring at the end of her term, setting up an open seat contest. Trump said he thinks Sununu will win it.
“He came to my office, came to the Oval Office, and [I] met with Chris Sununu, and I support him fully. I hope he runs,” Trump told the Washington Free Beacon, which spoke to the president during a gaggle on Air Force One on the way back from Mar-a-Lago Sunday evening.
“He’s been very nice to me over the last year or so, but no, I hope he runs. I think he’ll win that seat.”
Trump’s full-throated endorsement could clear the GOP primary field for the popular former governor.
It is uncertain when Sununu visited President Trump in the Oval Office.
