Summary
President Donald Trump endorsed former Sen. John E. Sununu over former Sen. Scott Brown in the New Hampshire Senate race. Sununu, a longtime GOP Trump critic, is seen as the strongest candidate to flip the seat held by retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. Trump praised Sununu as an “America First Patriot” who will “work tirelessly to advance our America First Agenda.” Sununu has a polling and fundraising advantage over Brown, but Brown has no intentions of dropping out.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Trump endorses a former critic, Sununu, over a loyal supporter, Brown. Sununu’s family has a long history in New Hampshire politics. He was praised by Trump despite previously backing Trump rivals. Brown questions Sununu’s MAGA credentials. The endorsement boosts Sununu’s campaign, but some in the MAGA base reject it. The Senate Leadership Fund says the endorsement puts an end to the primary. Sununu’s fundraising haul more than doubles Brown’s. The seat is crucial in determining the Senate majority.
