President Trump endorsed former Sen. John Sununu in New Hampshire’s 2026 Republican Senate primary, a move described as a blow to opponent Scott Brown. Polling cited in the article showed Sununu ahead of Brown in the primary, while both trailed Rep. Chris Pappas in a general-election matchup.
Trump announced his endorsement of Sununu in a Truth Social post, saying Sununu would advance his “America First Agenda.” The article described the endorsement as a blow to Brown, who is also seeking the Republican nomination. A University of New Hampshire poll released the previous month showed Sununu leading Brown among likely Republican primary voters, 48% to 25%.
The article said Brown entered the race in June and had faced criticism from Democrats over his prior representation of Massachusetts in the Senate. It reported that whoever wins the primary will likely face Pappas, and cited polling showing Sununu trailing Pappas by 5 points and Brown by 10 points. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who holds the seat, is not seeking reelection.
