<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Hampshire</a> Governor Chris Sununu said during an interview Thursday that he will make a decision about whether he is going to throw his hat in the ring for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination.
Sununu made the remarks during a Fox News interview on &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom&#8221; with co-anchors Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. The interview was conducted right after Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis finished giving a speech in the state.
&#8220;What&#8217;s your assessment of the DeSantis campaign so far in New Hampshire, after they have spent two days in Iowa?&#8221; Perino asked.
&#8220;He understands the value of retail politics,&#8221; Sununu responded. &#8220;You saw it right there. I actually thought that was a pretty darn good speech. It&#8217;s not just about the woke stuff. It&#8217;s &#8212; he&#8217;s talking about fiscal discipline. He&#8217;s talking about doing things in Washington that folks haven&#8217;t gotten done.&#8221;
Sununu said that he is &#8220;probably going to decide&#8221; whether he will enter the 2024 Republican Party primary in the coming days and will look to &#8220;make a more public announcement in the next week.&#8221;
Sununu said that it doesn&#8217;t matter too much how many candidates decide to enter the race and that what ultimately matters is that they have the discipline to get out of the race before the Iowa caucuses if they are not polling well. &#8220;Come November, December of this year, if you&#8217;re not polling well, get your butt out of this race,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s narrow it down to a couple of candidates. That&#8217;s more fair to the process. And I think that&#8217;s going to be the discipline, not just for the candidates, but for the donor base,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;They have to tell their candidates to get out, right? And I think they will. This is not going to be [a] repeat of 2016.&#8221;
Sununu said that things change on a day-to-day basis that could factor into his decision-making about whether he will enter the race.

&#8220;Look, things change day by day,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I literally saw Donald Trump cozying up to Andrew Cuomo. I mean, Andrew Cuomo is the punchline to Republican jokes. Even Democrats don&#8217;t like Andrew Cuomo. And now Trump and Cuomo are best friends and all. And that is not the head of the Republican Party, guys. That is not a strong conservative message.&#8221;

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> traded punches Thursday over the advantages of experience in office versus the ability to serve multiple terms.
Speaking to a group of voters in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iowa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iowa</a>, the former president said his second term in office would start much faster than his first, and that he could reverse the Biden administration’s impact on the country in six months.
“It will be a beautiful thing to watch. It’s going to happen very quickly,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FycnTeM_B2A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Trump. “And I’m very experienced now. It’s not like I’m going in saying ‘This is a nice office. Is this the Oval Office?’ It takes you about a year to sort of say, ‘Can you believe this? This is the Oval Office.’ I won’t have to say that.”
Trump contrasted his experience with one of DeSantis’ attacks against the former president: that DeSantis, if elected, will have the ability to run for another term.
“I’ve been watching DeSanctus go out and say ‘I’ve got eight years. It’s going to be eight years.’ Let me tell you something, right there you should vote against him,” Trump said, referring to the Florida governor with one of Trump’s trademark nicknames. “It’ll take me six months to have it totally the way it was. We’ll have it fast. It’s drilling, it’s the wall, and it’s getting criminals out of our country that have been allowed to come in so freely.”
A reporter brought Trump’s promise to make the U.S. “the way it was” in six months to DeSantis, who was campaigning about 1,200 miles away in New Hampshire. “Why didn’t he do it his first four years?” DeSantis quipped.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In previous remarks, DeSantis has said the fact Trump can only serve four more years will undermine Republican governance in the future. Getting a president elected of the same party as the incumbent is difficult, and has not been done since George H. W. Bush took over from Ronald Reagan after the 1988 election.
Trump has dismissed the criticism, saying that a Republican get elected after his second term and serve eight more years in office after him.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-hampshire">New Hampshire’s</a> Manchester School District received COVID relief funds to host a youth pride event with a drag performance, a new <a href="https://nhjournal.com/craig-administration-oks-tax-dollars-for-drag-show-at-manchester-west-high/">report</a> found. 
Manchester School District received $4,000 from Manchester’s <a href="https://www.manchesternh.gov/Departments/Planning-and-Comm-Dev/American-Rescue-Plan-Act">Community Event and Activation Grant Program</a>, which is funded through American Rescue Plan funds. The money, which was <a href="https://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/grantconfirmation.pdf">awarded on May 10th</a>, will go towards hosting a “Youth Pride Event” on June 2.
Of the sum, $500 is earmarked “pride decorations and swag” while another $500 is slated to be used for “drag performers.” Another $150 is set to be for “lawn decorations.”
One flier advertising the event <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/05/30/new-hampshire-school-district-covid-relief-dollars-youth-pride-event/">told</a> students that the pride event would include a “Photo Booth” as well as “swag, food, entertainment and drag, LGBTQ+ affirming organizations, cake and more!”
Jennifer Gillis, the superintendent of schools for Manchester School District, <a href="https://nhjournal.com/craig-administration-oks-tax-dollars-for-drag-show-at-manchester-west-high/">stated</a> that “As with other years, this is an after-school, extra-curricular, opt-in event.” She also remarked “Events such as this are consistent with the goals of our community-developed strategic plan, and in line with district policies.” 
New Hampshire Department of Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut questioned the decision to provide COVID-relief funds for the pride event, <a href="https://nhjournal.com/craig-administration-oks-tax-dollars-for-drag-show-at-manchester-west-high/">asking</a> “Is this really the best use of taxpayer funds?” Though $4,000 from the American Rescue Plan will go towards the event, it is projected to cost a total of $6,000. 
Meanwhile, Manchester School Board Member Jim O’Connell spoke out in support of the drag performance for minors, saying “I don’t have any problem with a youth pride event for our LGBTQ students and others.”

Tina Kim Philibotte, the chief equity officer for the Manchester School District, also spoke out in favor of the drag event, saying “Joyful spaces where LGBTQ+ youth feel loved, celebrated, and centered is the work of public education.”
The school district was hit with a <a href="https://nhjournal.com/manchester-public-schools-parents-who-dont-like-secrecy-policy-can-take-their-kids-and-leave/">lawsuit</a> after one parent discovered that school staff were using alternative pronouns to refer to her child. The mother claims that, although she requested that her child be referred to by pronouns that reflected her child’s sex, the principal informed her via email that her instructions had been overridden by district policy.

After a high school freshman boy dominated a girls’ championship in New Hampshire, social media users reacted by calling him a “cheat.”
On May 20, at the <a href="https://www.concordmonitor.com/Track---field-Kearsarge-girls-win-20-team-Wilderness-Championship-in-final-regular-season-meet-51050803" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wilderness Championship</a>, freshman Maelle Jacques finished first in the<a href="https://nh.tfrrs.org/results/80314/4934197/Wilderness_League_Championship_2023/Girls-1600-Meters" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 1,600-meter run</a> with a time of 5:27 and first in the <a href="https://nh.tfrrs.org/results/80314/4934194/Wilderness_League_Championship_2023/Girls-High-Jump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high jump</a> with a jump of 4 feet, 11 inches.

Social media users issued <a href="https://twitter.com/icons_women/status/1661613539973541889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemnatory responses</a> to the news of Jacques’ domination of the two events.
“No. He didn’t win. Cheating is entering the building from the side door like the service maid does,” one commenter remarked.
“Pathetic cheating male,” another echoed.
“Cheat, he knows he&#8217;s a cheat, we know he&#8217;s a cheat, everyone knows he&#8217;s a MASSIVE CHEAT,” a third person added.
“So, basically, this tells me that a guy can grow pigtails and place in certain women&#8217;s events as a freshman? Good job erasing women,” a fourth user stated.
At the 2023 NHIAA Division III <a href="http://live.lancertiming.com/meets/120/events/21/Final" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Track &amp; Field Championships</a> on May 24, Jacques finished second in the girls’ 1600 with a time of 5:32.39, less than two seconds behind the winner, Molly Ellison, who hails from the same high school, and fifth in the Girls High Jump.

The <a href="https://www.nhiaa.org/ckfinder/userfiles/files/3HB%2021-22%20%20I%20Policy.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by-laws</a> of the NHIAA state:
<blockquote>
Gender Equity: Gender equity is an atmosphere and a reality where fair distribution of overall athletic opportunity and resources, proportionate to enrollment, are available to girls and boys, and where no student athlete, coach, or athletic administrator is discriminated against in any way in the athletic program on the basis of gender.
An athletic program is gender equitable when either the boys or the girls sports program would be pleased to accept as its own the overall program of the other gender. No student shall be denied the opportunity in any implied or explicit manner to participate in an extra-curricular activity because of the race, color, gender, religion, or national origin of the student &#8230;
</blockquote>
In 2016, after the NHIAA’s previous policy that required transgender athletes to have taken hormones before they were allowed to compete had been jettisoned, Jeff Collins, executive director of the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association, <a href="https://www.concordmonitor.com/Concord-NH-LGBTQ-Transgender-Sports-4098315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the requirement was “unrealistic,” adding, “What it’s all about is: How do we accommodate these kids, and how do we make sure that they have a fulfilling high school experience? That’s what it really comes down to.”
John Stark Regional High School Principal Chris Corkery stated, “No kid is going to say, ‘Wear a skirt this month and go by Mary and we’ll win the championship.’ That’s just not going to happen.”

Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> traveled to New Hampshire late this week where he met with voters, state lawmakers, and the state&#8217;s governor just days ahead of his anticipated announcement that he will be running for president in 2024.
The Washington Post reported that New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said after an hour-long meeting with DeSantis that the two had &#8220;a great relationship.&#8221; Sununu, who is rumored to be contemplating a long-shot bid for the White House, has taken shots at former President Donald Trump, saying that Trump &#8220;is positioning himself to be a four-time loser in 2024.&#8221;
DeSantis met with voters at the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester where he was very well received by many who thanked him for what he has accomplished in Florida.
DeSantis, 44, focused on talking to voters in the Granite State about economic and family issues like school choice, tax cuts, crime, and inflation, The New York Times reported.
DeSantis told donors during a call earlier this week that he believes he is the only Republican who can beat Trump and who can beat Biden.
“You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing,” DeSantis said. “Biden, Trump and me. And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president — Biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states.”
DeSantis has been busy racking up large lists of endorsements in recent days, including 37 state lawmakers in Iowa, approximately 50 state lawmakers in New Hampshire, and 99 out of 113 Republicans in the Florida state legislature.
DeSantis held a roundtable discussion in Bedford with many of the Republican lawmakers who are backing him instead of the former president where he spoke about a variety of issues and many of the victories that he has achieved as governor of Florida.

&#8220;These fights are not easy,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;I think when you look, there&#8217;s a reason why things have gotten crazy in this country, because there&#8217;s a lot of powerful people that want it to be, a lot of institutions push that direction. When you kind of step out and you speak truth, you get a lot of blowback for that, but I think what I found in Florida is no governor ever received more incoming, I would say in modern history, than me, during my first term, particularly with COVID, but it really went on after that, a lot of narratives generated.&#8221;

A Democratic New Hampshire state representative responded to a concerned parent who asked him to supports a parents’ rights bill by telling the parent to “shut up.”
The alleged parent in Hopkinton asked Rep. Tommy Hoyt to pass SB 272 without any amendments. SB 272, vehemently opposed by teachers’ unions and leftists, meant to <a href="https://legiscan.com/NH/text/SB272/2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">establish</a> parents&#8217; rights to “inspect any instructional material used as part of the educational curriculum for a child within a reasonable period following a request,” “exempt a minor child from immunizations if, in the opinion of a physician, the immunization is detrimental to the child or because of religious beliefs,” “inquire of the school or school personnel and to be truthfully and completely informed if the child is being identified or referred to by school district staff, as being of a gender other than that of which the child was identified or referred when enrolled,” and “the right to inquire of the school or school personnel and to be truthfully and completely informed if any school or school personnel are proceeding with any intervention to affirm or to provide an accommodation of a child’s asserted gender identity when the student’s gender identity is other than that of which the child was identified or referred when enrolled.”
“Aren&#8217;t most teachers and school staff also parents?” the parent wrote to Hoyt. “Do you believe that teachers and school staff make better parents than everyone else? Do you believe that most parents are abusive? Have the people who want you to vote against parental rights provided much more than fear to support their position?”
Hoyt fired back, “Do you know why children’s results tanked during COVID. Their parents were incompetent teachers. Do your children a favor, let the teachers teach, and shut up. You’re clearly no professional.”

Hoyt later confirmed the authenticity of the message to the <a href="https://nhjournal.com/nhdem-rep-tells-voter-to-shut-up-over-parents-rights-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NH Journal</a>.
The bill was narrowly defeated on Thursday in the New Hampshire House by a vote of 195-190 morning. House Speaker Sherm Packard launched an investigation into tactics used by the bill’s opponents after the <a href="https://nhjournal.com/offer-of-free-air-fare-sparks-investigation-into-dem-tactics-in-parents-rights-fight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revelation</a> of a free plane ticket promised to fly Rep.

Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> cracked a joke after two far-left activists stormed the stage as he spoke to a sold out event in New Hampshire on Friday evening where he smashed the all-time fundraising record for the state&#8217;s Republican Party.

“Jews against DeSantis! Jews against DeSantis!” the two women yelled as security guards got control of the situation and escorted them off stage.
DeSantis remained calm, cool, and collected during the incident, quipping: “You gotta have a little spice in the speech, right?”
“Why would you want to pay for the ticket to get in just to do that?&#8221; he joked. &#8220;I don’t know, but different strokes for different folks.&#8221;

DeSantis Smashes New Hampshire GOP Record With ‘Largest Fundraiser’ In History: Report

DeSantis Smashes New Hampshire GOP Record With 'Largest Fundraiser' In History: Report

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suggested to an audience on Monday that he may enter the 2024 presidential race to torpedo former President Donald Trump.
Christie made the remarks while speaking at St. Anselm’s College in New Hampshire. Christie <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/10/chris-christie-suspends-2016-campaign-new-hampshire-primary">campaigned</a> in New Hampshire more than any other GOP candidate in 2016 and was blown out there, leading him to suspend his campaign.
“You better have somebody on that stage who can do to him what I did to Marco because that’s the only thing that’s gonna defeat Donald Trump,” Christie said in reference to him going hard after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) during the debates. “And that means you gotta have the skill to do it and that means you have to be fearless because he will come back and right at you.”
Christie said that “it’s not gonna end nicely” and Trump&#8217;s “end will not be a calm and quiet conclusion.”
“And so, if I run again, I can’t imagine that I would continue to do it the same way,” he added. “But this time if I run, I would just hope that you come to a better conclusion than you did the last time.”
Mediaite <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/politics/chris-christie-puts-trump-on-blast-in-new-hampshire-his-end-will-not-be-a-calm-and-quiet-conclusion/">reported</a> that Christie’s remarks &#8220;elicited laughs from the crowd.&#8221;
The former president and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis currently sit at the top of the polls for the 2024 Republican nomination, even though the latter has not announced a campaign yet.
Christie told Fox News that he wanted to go to New Hampshire to talk to people &#8220;who I know are the best-informed voters in the country about things that I think are important in the world and in our country right now — and to see how they react to that, and see that what they think about things that I think are important.&#8221;
Christie said though that he has not made any plans on whether to join the race but added that he has &#8220;had a lot of interesting conversations with donors over the course of the last few weeks.&#8221;

Chris Christie Suggests He’ll Run To Torpedo Trump In Primary

Local authorities and state governments in the northeast U.S. are asking the federal government for more help as they deal with an influx of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigrants</a> crossing from Canada into the U.S. 
Between October 1, 2022, and February 28 of this year, around 2,000 Mexican migrants illegally crossed the Swanton Sector, a 24,000-square-mile stretch of border between Canada, New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Authorities recorded only 200 such crossings during the same time period of the previous year, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/border-crossings-canada-new-york-vermont-nh-up-tenfold-rcna75087" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, and the spike is causing alarm among Americans who live near the northern border. 
“People are scared,” a Champlain County, New York, resident said. “It’s the fear of the unknown. They’re [neighbors] worried about their safety, because they don’t know these people.”
Another New York resident told NBC that illegal immigrants have shown up at her home, leading her to set up security cameras. 
“It’s not something I would usually do,” she said. “But it makes me think twice. And with the kids and the family, I gotta install cameras.”
Due to Canada changing a <a href="https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/trnsprnc/brfng-mtrls/prlmntry-bndrs/20200621/037/index-en.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policy</a> in 2016, Mexican migrants can fly to the country without visas. The migrants then attempt an illegal crossing from the north instead of trying to walk across the southern U.S. border, believing that will be an easier route to enter America illegally. The northern border only has 2,000 Border Patrol agents for a 5,000-mile stretch while the U.S.-Mexico border has 16,000 agents for 2,000 miles of border, according to NBC. 
Attempts to cross the northern border, however, can also be treacherous, especially in the middle of winter. The border along the Swanton Sector is heavily wooded and has limited access to emergency services, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-hampshire-governor-more-can-should-done-address-alarming-rise-northern-border-crossings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Last month, a Mexican migrant died while attempting to cross into Vermont from Canada. 
Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-hampshire-governor-more-can-should-done-address-alarming-rise-northern-border-crossings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent</a> a letter earlier this week to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, requesting more federal agents to assist with the situation at his state’s border with Canada or for permission for state authorities to take more action to stop the illegal crossings. 
&#8220;The Biden Administration has cut funding and hindered the state’s ability to assist in patrolling the northern border,&#8221; Sununu wrote. &#8220;If the Biden Administration truly believes that securing the border is a priority, I hope you will partner with the State of New Hampshire to make this a reality.&#8221;
Earlier this month, DHS sent 25 additional Border Patrol agents to the northern border to help states handle the spike in illegal crossings.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> isn&#8217;t a popular guy amongst some New Hampshire Democrats — at least in part because the party changed its primary schedule and knocked the Granite State from its &#8220;first in the nation&#8221; (FITN) perch at the president&#8217;s request, according to a former New Hampshire governor.
New Hampshire voters of all stripes — who take immense pride in historically hosting the first primary for both major parties — are upset over the Democratic Party&#8217;s decision to give South Carolina the honor of &#8220;FITN&#8221; in 2024. Due to that change, Biden could lose the state&#8217;s four electoral votes in the general election, according to ex-New Hampshire Governor John Lynch (D).
“It could cost Democrats the presidency,” Lynch <a href="https://www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/politics/2023/03/06/biden-2024-reelection-bid-faces-resistance-in-nh-from-some-democrats/69976220007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Associated Press. “Republicans won’t let voters forget. They’ll hammer the Democrats on this.”
Steve Shurtleff, a former speaker of the New Hampshire House and current Democratic state representative, is also gunshy about Biden&#8217;s potential re-election campaign.
“In my heart of hearts, no,” Shurtleff told the media outlet when asked if he wants Biden to run in 2024. “I think a lot of people just don’t want to say it.”
Biden has not announced his re-election campaign officially, but he has said that it is his &#8220;intention&#8221; to run again. In February, the Democratic National Committee voted to remove New Hampshire from first in line.
Why? Well, apparently the state is too white.
“This calendar does what is long overdue,” DNC chair Jaime Harrison told NBC News at the time. &#8220;It puts Black voters at the front of the process in South Carolina. It keeps Nevada, where Latinos have been building power &#8230; and it adds Michigan, the heartland, where unions built the middle class of this nation. And Georgia, the forefront of the new South.&#8221;
Harrison claimed that the new calendar reflects America&#8217;s racial makeup.
“The Democratic Party looks like America,&#8221; Harrison claimed, &#8220;and so does this proposal.&#8221;
The move also could block any would-be Biden challengers from mounting momentum. In 2020, Biden finished first in the South Carolina primary yet failed to crack the top four in New Hampshire.

In New Hampshire, Laconia Democratic Committee Chairman Eric Hoffman claimed that his state would prefer to see a change.
“The party kind of lined up because he was the nominee, but he obviously wasn’t our first four choices,” Hoffman said. “People would prefer to see a change.&#8221;
Right now, Biden has only one challenger — self-help author Marianne Williamson. Yet, many have speculated that Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) may hop in the race. In 2020, he <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/02/11/us/elections/results-new-hampshire-primary-election.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trounced</a> Biden in New Hampshire&#8217;s primary by more than 50,000 votes.

‘In My Heart Of Hearts, No’: New Hampshire Dems React To Potential Biden Re-Election Bid

'In My Heart Of Hearts, No': New Hampshire Dems React To Potential Biden Re-Election Bid

New Hampshire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nh-gov-sununu-democrats-should-have-spent-more-time-reaching-across-the-aisle-not-beating-up-manchin-and-sinema/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Governor Chris Sununu</a>, whose state will be the first in the nation to hold a GOP primary after the Iowa caucuses begin the 2024 run for the presidency, said that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would win the primary if it were held now.
Sununu, a member of a veteran political family, is the son of former New Hampshire governor and onetime White House Chief of Staff John H. Sununu and the younger brother of former representative and U.S. senator John E. Sununu. He spoke on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash, who noted a new University of New Hampshire <a href="https://scholars.unh.edu/survey_center_polls/727/">poll</a> that showed DeSantis leading Trump 42% to 30% among likely Republican voters.
 “Obviously, DeSantis and Trump are the two candidates &#8230; whether he&#8217;s (DeSantis) declared or not,” Sununu stated, “He has hundreds of millions of dollars&#8230; obviously, Ron DeSantis is looking to run for president, which is fine. And he would probably win New Hampshire right now, without a doubt.”
Bash pointed out that Trump won the state’s primary in 2016, prompting Sununu to respond, “Could he do that again? Oh, he could. I don&#8217;t think he will. He could.”
Sununu said a speech Trump delivered Saturday in New Hampshire was seen as “very mundane.&#8221;
&#8220;The response we have received is, he read his teleprompter, he stuck to the talking points, he went away,” Sununu said. “So he&#8217;s not really bringing that fire, that energy, I think, that a lot of folks saw it in &#8217;16. I think, in many ways, it was a little disappointing to some folks. And even he acknowledged it wasn&#8217;t his best. He came to a predetermined crowd, not one of his big rallies.”
Granite State voters put candidates through their paces, according to Sununu.
“Even if you&#8217;re the former president, you got to come and earn it person to person,” Sununu said.
Sununu admitted he is considering a run of his own for the presidential nomination, then said of the New Hampshire poll, “I&#8217;m surprised I&#8217;m on that poll at all.”
Sununu also warned against the idea of a 2016-type scenario in which multiple candidates vied for the nomination, saying candidates who don&#8217;t poll well early need to get out of the way.
“We don&#8217;t want a crowded field here,” he said. “Make a good run at it, but if it ain&#8217;t happening, you got to pull out and leave it down to the two, three or four candidates.”
