NEW HAMPSHIRE: Governor Chris Sununu aimed at former President Donald Trump on Friday, Dec 15, claiming that “chaos and distraction” would prevent Trump from serving a second term.

“The guy just has chaos and distraction that follows him. He’s not going to be able to get the stuff that we need done to fix this country,” he said in an MSNBC interview.

“Republicans want to go forward with the next generation of conservative leadership. We always want to be looking forward to the next opportunity to get stuff done. Not just looking in the rearview mirror, worrying about Trump litigating things,” he added.

On Tuesday, Sununu supported former UN ambassador Nikki Haley in her bid for the Republican nomination. He expanded on his arguments for why he thinks Haley is a better fit for the White House using the interview from Friday.

“Her numbers were surging long before I even got on board because she’s connecting with folks,” he said.

“By doing that, by spending time on the ground with our voters, she’s earning their trust, and trust is a very rare thing in Washington nowadays. People are liking it. She’s got that charisma, more than any other candidate out there. And that connection is why you’re seeing her numbers jump up,” he continued.
