<p>Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said this week that former President Donald Trump&#8217;s criminal trial in Manhattan will not have the political ramifications that many of Trump&#8217;s detractors believe it will.</p>
<p>Sununu made the remarks during an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News&#8217; &#8220;This Week&#8221; when asked if he would support Trump even if he was convicted.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, look, this trial is not going to have major political ramifications that a lot of people, I think, think it may have,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And when it comes to these issues, people see it more as reality TV at this point. They really do. And so, you know, whether it&#8217;s a conviction or what that conviction looks like, a lot of folks, they conflate all four of these different trials that he&#8217;s in.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s good that he&#8217;s going to be in the court, have to be in there probably three days a week, you know, for a number of weeks. That takes him off the campaign trail,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;He&#8217;ll probably go back on the campaign trail and almost, like, rehash what&#8217;s going on. He&#8217;ll try to victimize it. And that has worked for him, right? I mean, this has been going on for over a year, and his poll numbers never seem to go down because of the issue.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stephanopoulos said that he wanted Sununu to answer the question in terms of &#8220;right and wrong&#8221; and not through the lens of politics.</p>

<p>&#8220;This is about politics,&#8221; Sununu said. &#8220;That&#8217;s what people are judging this on. And the ultimately, you know, decision will be in November, to see where people are. But for months, and even over a year, we&#8217;ve heard that these are the things that are going to bring Donald Trump down. It&#8217;s not. And to think that the American public is going to be massively swayed by this, politically or otherwise, that&#8217;s — that&#8217;s not going to happen.&#8221;</p>
