President Trump endorses John E. Sununu for U.S. Senate

Trump's endorsement boosts Sununu's campaign as a top GOP priority with backing from key Republican groups ahead of the New Hampshire Senate primary.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he endorsed John E. Sununu as an `America First Patriot` and highlighted his priorities in the race.
  • Party operatives say the endorsement signals the race is a GOP priority and Sununu vowed in November to be an `effective advocate` working with Trump if elected this year.
  • Backers including the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Senate Leadership Fund support Sununu, polling is favorable, and the endorsement notably snubs Scott Brown, former U.S. Ambassador.
  • The endorsement effectively ends the GOP primary, according to SLF Executive Director Alex Latcham, and the nominee will face Rep. Chris Pappas for New Hampshire's U.S. Senate seat vacated by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
  • The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee cast doubt on Sununu's general-election prospects after the endorsement, citing New Hampshire's recent electoral history and Wall Street ties, DSCC spokeswoman Maddy McDaniel said.
