Republican Gov. Chris Sununu believes New Hampshire, a swing state, could favor former President Trump in the upcoming election.
Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire has declared that his state is "very much in play" for former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. This assessment comes despite New Hampshire not having voted Republican in a presidential election since 2000.
Sununu's prediction stems from recent polls indicating a close race in the state and President Biden's perceived poor debate performance. The governor believes that Trump has a strong chance of doing well in swing states like New Hampshire.

Other Republicans in the state share Sununu's optimism. Steve Stepanek, Trump's senior adviser in New Hampshire, believes the state is "very much in play." However, Democrats disagree, arguing that New Hampshire remains unfavorable terrain for Trump.
Despite Trump's possible advantages, Democrats hold a significant organizational advantage in ground-game operations in New Hampshire. The Biden re-election team and the state Democratic coordinated campaign have 14 field offices across the state, while the Trump team and the GOP currently have only one.

Sununu will not attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but plans to participate remotely. He emphasizes the importance of Trump's vice presidential pick, stating that a governor would be a valuable asset as a "CEO" and "manager" to assist the president.
Sununu specifically praised North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who is rumored to be on Trump's short list for running mate. He described Burgum as "incredible" and "a great asset towards the Trump administration."

Sununu's comments underscore the significance of New Hampshire as a swing state in the upcoming election. Trump's chances of winning the state depend on factors such as the outcome of the Republican National Convention and the electorate's perception of Biden's performance.
