New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu informed CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday that Chris Christie’s 2024 project for president is “at an outright dead end.” He included that Christie needs to do what Sununu viewed as the best thing and leave of the race, in order to provide Nikki Haley an opportunity to beat Donald Trump for the Republican election.
“Chris Christie is a good friend however his race is at an outright dead end,” Sununu stated. “There’s no doubt that if Christie remains in the race, the danger is that he takes her margin of the win.”
“It’s in between Trump and Nikki Haley,” Sununu stated. “Everybody comprehends that he understands his citizens who wish to see Trump beat are all coming by to Nikki Haley. The only individual that desires Chris Christie to remain in the race is Donald Trump.”
He included that Christie has actually “struck a ceiling” in his project because he’s still so concentrated on Trump. “I understand he states he wishes to remain in the race to speak the reality about Trump, however [whether] that equates into votes in a main is a really various thing.” Sununu hypothesized that if the main were held today, he questions that Christie would get any New Hampshire delegates.
“I believe he’s going to make the ideal choice ultimately,” Sununu continued, including that Christie has actually “overstayed his welcome” and “put his ego initially” by staying in the race.
“Chris Christie isn’t going to comprise 30 points in the next couple of weeks,” the guv included. “Nikki Haley can comprise 5 or 10 points and provide Trump that beat that nobody idea was possible in the next couple of weeks, and I believe that’s likely to occur.”
Slam contested Sununu’s claim that the GOP election is “a two-person race” in between Trump and Haley, stating, “But obviously it’s not.”
