Sununu Enters New Hampshire Senate Race Backed by GOP Leaders, Faces Trump Loyalty Test

A resurfaced 2024 op‑ed labeling Trump a loser is already drawing attacks.

Overview

  • NRSC chair Sen. Tim Scott announced the committee’s support for John E. Sununu, and the Senate Leadership Fund praised his bid within hours of his launch.
  • President Trump has not endorsed, and Sununu told Fox News he wants the endorsement and can work with the administration on New Hampshire priorities.
  • Audio obtained by American Bridge captures Sununu saying a newspaper chose the op‑ed’s headline and asserting Trump won, a defense critics publicly challenged.
  • Scott Brown is running against Sununu in the GOP primary, touting roughly $1.2 million raised recently and highlighting his Trump alignment as a contrast.
  • Democrats are rallying around Rep. Chris Pappas as Sen. Jeanne Shaheen retires, with the state party attacking Sununu’s private‑sector ties as corporate.
