Swing State Open For TRUMP TO TAKE?

For a few years, one of the most outspoken Republicans who criticized former president Trump was Governor Chris Sununu, who was located in Newfield, New Hampshire.

 

The governor of New Hampshire, a well-liked Republican, claims that his state “is very much in play for the former president,” who will formally be the GOP’s nominee for president in 2024 next week.

 

Nearly twenty-five years have passed since a Republican won the presidential election in the swing state of New Hampshire. You have to go back to George W. Bush, the governor of Texas in 2000.

 

However, Republicans are growing more optimistic that they can halt the losing trend in the wake of two recent polls that showed a race in New Hampshire that is close to a margin of error and in the wake of President Biden’s incredibly terrible debate performance two weeks ago. It’s not like Sununu is the only upbeat Republican in New Hampshire.

Days after the debate, Steve Stepanek, the top Trump advisor in the state, said Fox News, “I firmly believe that New Hampshire is very much in play.”

 

Clearly, Democrats don’t agree.

 

The statements “New Hampshire is not Trump-friendly territory” and “there’s nothing changing the dynamic now in terms of Biden versus Trump in New Hampshire” were highlighted by Kathy Sullivan, a former longtime Democratic state party chair and member of the Democratic National Committee. When it comes to ground-game tactics in New Hampshire, Democrats now have a significant organizational advantage over the GOP.

 

Since January, the state Democratic coordinated campaign and the Biden reelection team have established 14 field offices around New Hampshire. Along with the campaign’s state headquarters, the Trump team and the GOP currently maintain one field office. Longtime state Democratic Party chair Ray Buckley stressed in a statement that “New Hampshire Democrats will continue to use our robust, grassroots campaign infrastructure to reach Granite Staters in every corner of New Hampshire to ensure we come together and re-elect President Biden and Vice President Harris in November — the stakes could not be higher.” Sununu will not be attending the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the following week.

 

He underlined, “I’ve got a job to do here.”

 

The governor, however, stated he would be “doing a lot of media” remotely. The governor has recently become a regular guest on cable and national television news networks.

 

The selection of Trump’s running mate will be the main announcement to come out of the convention. “I don’t think it will make a huge difference in terms of whether Trump will be successful in terms of the campaign, but it will surely make a difference in terms of the former president’s ability to be productive once he gets back into office,” Sununu stated. In her plea to Trump to appoint a governor, Sununu stated, “obviously I’m pretty biased in that direction that you need a CEO, a partner, a manager that can help take care of a lot of the other things that the president – being a 24-7 type job – may not be able to handle.”
