President Donald Trump endorsed John Sununu in New Hampshire’s Republican Senate primary, a boost for the former senator as he competes with Scott Brown. The eventual Republican nominee will face Rep. Chris Pappas in the general election.
Trump announced his endorsement of Sununu in a Truth Social post, saying Sununu would advance his “America First Agenda.” Sununu is backed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Senate Leadership Fund; the article reports that Republican leaders view him as potentially more electable than Brown.
Brown said he would continue running and argued that New Hampshire voters deserve a choice. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee questioned Sununu’s general-election prospects, while the Republican National Committee described the Senate seat as one to watch. The winner of the Republican primary will face Pappas, who is running for the Senate seat being vacated by Jeanne Shaheen.
