New Hampshire Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-sununu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Sununu</a> endorsed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley for the Republican nomination for president on Tuesday.
Sununu’s endorsement is a significant victory for Haley, who is relying on a strong performance in early states to propel herself over former President Donald Trump, who has so far dominated the early primary polling. It’s also a significant blow to other GOP candidates vying to compete with Trump for the nomination.
Sununu has appeared with many of the Republican candidates at events in recent weeks. The governor said he was evaluating the field to find the best Republican to have a chance at knocking off Trump for the top spot in the primary. He has said for months that the Republican Party should move on from the former president.
Sununu appeared with Haley and endorsed her at a town hall event in Manchester, New Hampshire.
“This is an opportunity for New Hampshire to lead this country, for New Hampshire to say we’re not looking in the rearview mirror anymore,” Sununu <a href="https://apnews.com/article/haley-sununu-new-hampshire-presidential-election-990cc5cf71b5ae6d50c87cb91e95bfeb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
“You bet your ass I am. We’re all in for Nikki Haley,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/steinhauserNH1/status/1734712637160661470" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, throwing his weight in the state toward the former U.N. ambassador.
Haley has gained a surge in support in recent weeks, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-megadonor-makes-massive-donation-to-boost-nikki-haley-in-gop-primary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including</a> from prominent Democratic donors, coming close to overtaking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Both have trailed Trump significantly since the race began, though DeSantis has held on to the number two spot.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s campaign downplayed the impact of Sununu’s pick in a statement to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/new-hampshire-gov-chris-sununu-set-to-endorse-nikki-haley-in-gop-presidential-race-97545648" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
“This puts us down one vote in New Hampshire,” Christie spokesman Karl Rickett said in a statement. The New Jersey governor will overcome the loss of Sununu by continuing to tell the “unvarnished truth about Donald Trump,” Rickett said.

DeSantis’ campaign similarly shrugged off Sununu’s choice.
“What happens in New Hampshire will be significantly impacted by the outcome in Iowa, where the true Trump alternative will emerge,” DeSantis spokesman Andrew Romeo told WSJ in a statement. The DeSantis campaign has heavily invested in Iowa and won endorsements from its governor, Kim Reynolds, and evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats.
Donald Trump is leading, according to the <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RealClearPolitics</a> national polling average. DeSantis is second and Haley is third. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy sits at fourth, and Christie trails in fifth.

New Hampshire Governor Sununu Endorses Nikki Haley For President

The man accused of using a makeshift flamethrower and molotov cocktails to attack a demonstration in support of hostages in Gaza originally planned to use a gun, according to Boulder County officials.
Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/02/us-news/boulder-terror-attack-suspect-planned-mass-shooting-but-was-stopped-from-buying-gun-due-to-immigration-status/">said</a> in a press conference Monday afternoon that Mohamed Sabry Soliman attempted to purchase a gun to attack demonstrators, but was blocked by gun laws.
Soliman planned the attack for at least a year, according to authorities. His initial plan involved using a firearm. He took a concealed carry class to learn how to shoot. But when he attempted to buy a gun, he was stopped because his visa had expired, Dougherty said.
Documents filed in a state court say that Soliman “had to use Molotov cocktails after he was denied the purchase of a gun due to him not being a legal citizen,” according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/boulder-attack-suspect-us-illegally-homeland-security/story?id=122409898">ABC News</a>.
Soliman “researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them,” the documents say.
The suspect is an Egyptian national who is in the United States illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Department spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-hits-egyptian-anti-israel-terror-suspect-with-charges-including-murder">said</a> Monday that Soliman is in the United States on an expired visa.

“The Colorado Terrorist attack suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in our country,” said McLaughlin. “He entered the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired on February 2023. He filed for asylum in September 2022.”
Boulder County prosecutors have charged Soliman with 16 counts of first degree murder, as well as using incendiary devices to commit a felony and assault. Soliman faces over 600 years in prison if convicted on all charges, according to Dougherty.
Soliman allegedly attacked the group of demonstrators with a makeshift flamethrower and firebombs. A dozen people so far have reported injuries from the attack. None of the victims have died.
FBI Director Kash Patel called the incident a “targeted terror attack.” Federal prosecutors have charged Soliman with a hate crime.
Soliman told investigators that “he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.” The suspect said that “this had nothing to do with the Jewish community and was specific in the Zionist group supporting the killings of people on his land,” according to court documents.

Colorado Attacker Planned Mass Shooting, But Couldn’t Buy A Gun Because He’s An Illegal

The Trump administration is rolling back Biden-era regulations that blocked energy development in Alaska’s national petroleum reserve.
The Biden administration restricted oil exploration and drilling across 13.3 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska (APR-A) last year in a move that angered industry, state, and tribal leaders. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced Monday that the Trump administration would reverse those rules.
“Congress was clear: the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska was set aside to support America’s energy security through responsible development,” said Burgum in a <a href="https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/interior-moves-rescind-2024-rule-alaskas-petroleum-reserve">statement</a>. “The 2024 rule ignored that mandate, prioritizing obstruction over production and undermining our ability to harness domestic resources at a time when American energy independence has never been more critical. We&#8217;re restoring the balance and putting our energy future back on track.”
Alaska’s sole representative in the U.S. House, Nick Begich, celebrated the news.
“Alaska’s right to self-determination is being restored. Thank you @SecretaryBurgum and @POTUS for your leadership and recognizing Alaska’s extraordinary resource potential,” he wrote in a post on <a href="https://x.com/RepNickBegich/status/1929595733591969997">X</a>.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
Last year, the Biden administration issued final rules banning oil and gas drilling across 10.6 million acres in the oil reserve. Over another roughly three million acres, the administration put added protections in place. The rules locked up more than half of the state&#8217;s roughly 23 million-acre petroleum reserve.
The Biden administration also denied the state a permit to build a 211-mile industrial road through the Alaskan wilderness to reach a large copper deposit.
Biden&#8217;s Interior Department cracked down on development in the preserve after the administration approved the Willow Project, an $8 billion oil development project in Alaska. The approval ignited protest against the Biden administration from environmental groups. The administration then cracked down on oil and gas development in Alaska while fuel prices in the United States <a href="https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&amp;s=emm_epm0_pte_nus_dpg&amp;f=m">remained</a> high.
The entire preserve “contains a mean estimate of 895 million barrels of oil and a mean estimate of 52.8 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of natural gas,” according to an Institute for Energy Research <a href="https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/National-Petroleum-Reserve-Fact-Sheet-DRS-1-2.pdf">fact sheet</a>.
The Department of the Interior on Monday said that former President Joe Biden’s action “exceeds the agency’s statutory authority under the Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act of 1976.”
“The 2024 rule significantly expanded procedural requirements and created a presumption against oil and gas activity in approximately 13 million acres designated as ‘Special Areas’ unless operators could prove minimal or no adverse effects on surface resources. These provisions not only lack a basis in the Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act but undermine the BLM’s obligation to carry out an effective and timely leasing program,” the Interior Department said.
President Donald Trump has prioritized developing the United States’ domestic oil and gas resources. He has also marked out Alaska’s resources for development, in particular.
One of Trump’s first moves as president was to <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/unleashing-alaskas-extraordinary-resource-potential/">direct</a> a streamlined regulatory process for development in Alaska, covering not just oil and gas, but mining, forestry, fishing, and other industries.

Trump Moves To Unlock Millions Of Oil-Rich Acres In Alaska From Biden Environmental Rules

A man who was in the United States illegally is facing charges related to attempted murder, assault, and incendiary devices over an attack on a pro-Israel demonstration in Colorado over the weekend.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman is suspected of attacking demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday with a makeshift flamethrower and fire bombs. He was booked in Boulder County Jail on Sunday night after being treated for some burn wounds sustained in the attack. He is being held on a $10 million bond, according to <a href="https://bouldercounty.gov/safety/jail/listing-and-booking-reports/">The Guardian</a>.
Soliman is charged with a federal hate crime. <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1929583795805524440">According</a> to court documents, he admitted he wanted to kill all Zionist people and spent a year planning Sunday&#8217;s attack on a &#8220;Zionist group.&#8221;
Soliman is facing a slew of charges related to the attack, according to the Boulder County <a href="https://bouldercounty.gov/safety/jail/listing-and-booking-reports/">website</a>. Those charges include first-degree assault – heat of passion, use of an incendiary device during a felony, crimes against the elderly, murder in the first degree – extreme indifference.
The attack wounded eight people, none of whom have died, according to <a href="https://x.com/boulderpolice/status/1929544758738751982">Boulder police</a>.
Soliman, 45, allegedly yelled “free Palestine” during the attack. Video shows Soliman holding bottles of a clear liquid that were allegedly makeshift incendiary devices. The FBI said that the suspect also used a “makeshift flamethrower” during the attack.
The FBI has called the attack a “targeted act of violence.”
“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,” FBI director Kash Patel <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/boulder-colorado-suspected-terror-attack-suspect-mohamed-sabry-soliman-faces-murder-assault-other-charges">said</a>. “Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.”

The attack targeted a demonstration by “Run for Their Lives Denver,” which was leading a march calling for the release of hostages taken by the terror group Hamas during the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said that Soliman is in the United States illegally on an overstayed visa.
“The Colorado Terrorist attack suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in our country,” said McLaughlin. “He entered the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired on February 2023. He filed for asylum in September 2022.”

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis called the attack a “heinous and targeted act on the Jewish community,” in a statement.
“As the Jewish community reels from the recent antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the community is facing another antisemitic attack here in Boulder, on the eve of the holiday of Shavuot,” said Polis. “Several individuals were brutally attacked while peacefully drawing attention to the plight of hostages who have been held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for 604 days. Hate is unacceptable in our Colorado for all, and I condemn this act of terror. The suspect should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Colorado Hits Egyptian Anti-Israel Terror Suspect With Charges Including Murder

At least two people were killed and hundreds more were injured in Paris following a European soccer championship, as protesters waved Palestinian flags and clashed with police.
Chaos erupted across the city after thousands of people took to the streets to celebrate Paris Saint-Germain winning the Champions League, the most prestigious title in European soccer. Videos and photos from the riots showed people clashing with police, crashing through barriers, destroying vehicles, climbing monuments, and causing mayhem.
Protesters waived Palestinian flags amid the chaos, following an anti-Israel protest during the championship match in Munich. Paris Saint-Germain fans unfurled a massive banner calling for an end to the “genocide” in Gaza, a display that could result in a 10,000 euro fine for the soccer club. Other Paris Saint-Germain fans were seen waving Palestinian flags and wearing Palestinian scarves, according to <a href="https://www.thejc.com/news/world/psg-fans-wave-stop-genocide-in-gaza-banner-during-champions-league-final-bfd29tzj">The Jewish Chronicle</a>.
Videos also show rioters waving Algerian, Tunisian, and Moroccan flags.

Paris Saint-Germain topped Inter Milan 5-0, becoming the first French team to win the Champions League trophy in over three decades.
As the celebration descended into chaos, French authorities cracked down and arrested hundreds of people. Two people died in the tumult: a 17-year-old boy who was stabbed in the chest in the nearby town of Dax and a 23-year-old man who was hit by a vehicle while riding a scooter, according to the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgqyg325gno">BBC</a>.
The French Interior Ministry said that 559 people were arrested. Officials reported that 192 people were injured.

There is no credible evidence to suggest that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. Former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who served in the Biden administration, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/09/us-has-seen-no-evidence-that-israel-has-committed-genocide-austin-says-00151241">concluded</a> last year that the United States does not “have any evidence of genocide” in Gaza. An analysis of Gaza Health Ministry data conducted last year by the Associated Press found that over 60% of reported deaths among Palestinians were either adult males or had no reported gender.
Only 38% of casualties were women or children, according to data from the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas and is an unreliable source of data on the war in Gaza. The health ministry’s own data, however, has <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/06/07/new-report-determines-percentage-of-civilian-casualties-has-fallen-sharply-in-gaza/">belied</a> the health ministry’s claim that more than 70% of Palestinian casualties in the war have been either women or children.

Protesters Wave Palestinian Flags In Fiery Paris Soccer Riots That Left At Least Two Dead

The Israeli military and a Gaza aid foundation have refuted allegations that Israel’s military killed dozens of Palestinian civilians in an attack near an aid center over the weekend.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) have denied reports of Palestinian deaths from officials at the Gaza Health Ministry, a Hamas-run agency. In a statement, the military cautioned against news outlets uncritically publishing data from the terrorist-controlled health ministry.
“False reports have been spread [i]n recent hours, including serious allegations against the IDF regarding fire toward Gazan residents in the area of the humanitarian aid distribution site in Gaza. Findings from an initial inquiry indicate that the IDF did not fire at civilians while they were near or within the humanitarian aid distribution site and that reports to this effect are false,” the military said in a statement.
“The IDF is cooperating with the GHF and international aid organizations in order to enable the distribution of aid to Gazan residents — and not to Hamas,” the statement continued. “The IDF calls on the media to be cautious with information published by the Hamas terrorist organization, as proven in many previous incidents.”

The Gaza Health Ministry’s claims of killed and injured civilians have been echoed across media reports. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which runs the site at which the attack was claimed to have taken place, denied the claims.
“There was no gunfire in the center and also not in the surrounding area,” the foundation said in a statement, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/middleeast/palestinians-killed-gaza-aid-center-intl-hnk">CNN</a>. “All aid was distributed today without incident. We have heard that these fake reports have been actively fomented by Hamas. They are untrue and fabricated.”
According to videos released by the foundation, the aid site was uneventful on Sunday morning when the Israeli attack was said to have taken place. One video showed hundreds of Palestinians running to the aid center at dawn. Another showed several bursts of tracer fire in the distance, but no other evidence of military action otherwise.

The Gaza Health Ministry claimed that the Israeli military carried out a strike against Palestinian civilians going to retrieve food and supplies from the aid station on Sunday. The Hamas-run agency said that at least 31 Palestinians were killed and dozens more were wounded.
The Red Cross said it received 179 casualties at a station near Rafah, with 21 of those declared dead on arrival. The group said that “[a]ll patients said they had been trying to reach an aid distribution site,” according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-news-hostages-aid-06-01-2025-67688833abb96fc068c42d10da90a0a4">Associated Press</a>.
The Red Cross has faced criticism over its role in the Israel-Hamas war, most prominently over the aid group’s inability to get meaningful aid to any of the 251 hostages taken by Hamas and Palestinian terror supporters on October 7, 2023. The aid group also failed to monitor the hostages or provide updates on their welfare.

Israeli Military, Gaza Aid Group Debunk Hamas Claims Of Palestinians Killed In Strike At Aid Center

Two girls who competed at the Oregon track and field state championships refused to stand on the medal podium alongside a biologically male competitor on Saturday night.
Alexa Anderson of Tigard High School and Reese Eckard of Sherwood High School, both seniors, stepped down from the medal podium for long jump in protest of a trans-identifying athlete&#8217;s participation.
“We didn’t refuse to stand on the podium out of hate. We did it because someone has to say this isn’t right. In order to protect the integrity and fairness of girls sports we must stand up for what is right,” said Anderson in a statement to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/girls-track-field-athletes-dont-stand-podium-next-trans-athlete-oregon-state-championship">Fox News</a>.
The male athlete, who now goes by the name Liaa Rose, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/girls-track-field-athletes-dont-stand-podium-next-trans-athlete-oregon-state-championship">competed</a> in the boys’ category in 2023 when he went by the name Zachary and in 2024, by then changing his name to Liaa. In 2023 and 2024, Rose largely competed in junior varsity boys’ competitions.
Rose, now a high school senior, <a href="https://www.osaa.org/activities/btf/results">tied</a> for fifth place in the 6A high school girls’ high jump state championship. Anderson placed third and Eckard placed fourth.
Video of the medal ceremony shows Anderson and Eckard standing off the podium with their backs turned to the ceremony. An official walks up to them and appears to direct them to step away, after which the two girls begin to walk off.

The Trump administration has turned protecting female sports into a priority for the federal government. In February, President Donald Trump signed an order “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The administration has since engaged in a high-profile fight with Maine over its handling of issues around trans-dentifying athletes competing in female sports.

Trump threatened California last week with a similar fight with the federal government over a biologically male competitor who has been at the top of several events in California high school girls’ track and field.
“California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow ‘MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.’ This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won ‘everything,’ and is now qualified to compete in the ‘State Finals’ next weekend. As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114579949187402607">posted</a> on his Truth Social last week in an apparent reference to AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley, a biological male who is competing in girls track and field in California.
“Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to,” Trump added.
While the Trump administration has fought against men in women’s sports through the levers of government, individual female athletes have made their own protests against male competitors.
Reese Hogan of Crean Lutheran High School <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-boy-beats-her-in-triple-jump-high-school-track-athlete-takes-her-rightful-spot-as-champion">took</a> the place of Hernandez at the top spot of the medal podium after he stepped down following a competition in May. Hogan was the top-finishing girl, though still behind Hernandez, who was given first place.
