Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) promised he would vote for the Republican nominee for president, even if it is former President Donald Trump.
Sununu appeared Wednesday on CNN after Nikki Haley‘s debate against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on the network. The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has earned Sununu’s endorsement for the Republican nomination, but he confirmed he will vote for the nominee no matter who it is.
“Governor, there’s also a chance that the former president could be a convicted felon by the time people are voting,” host Kaitlan Collins said. “I mean, even if he’s a convicted felon, if he is the Republican nominee, does that mean you’re still going to vote for him?”
“Look, I think right now, most of America looks like they would vote for him because he’s winning — (President Joe) Biden is so bad that Trump is actually beating Biden in most polls,” Sununu said. “I love Nikki Haley because she’s up 10, 15 points on Biden. She wins Senate seats and House seats and governorships and brings all of those other opportunities to the states and the country to actually get stuff done, but you know, make no mistake about it, Biden is that bad of a president that even Trump would win.”
“You’re saying he’s that bad of a president that Trump would win even if Trump is a convicted felon?” Collins asked again.
“Yes,” Sununu said. “The polls say yes. People know that. The four court cases that are out there, we’ll see kind of where they are, but right now, they’re not playing into whether folks would vote for Trump or not.”

This is a change of tone from the New Hampshire governor, who previously said a vote for Trump would result in “effectively handing it to Kamala Harris potentially down the road.” Sununu has long been a vocal opponent of Trump and even pressured former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to drop out of the race in order to give Haley a better chance.
New Hampshire will host the nation’s first primary on Jan. 23.
