## New Hampshire Governor Sununu Supports Trump Despite Capitol Attack Concerns

In a surprising turn of events, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has voiced his support for former President Donald Trump, despite previously criticizing his role in the January 6th Capitol attack.

Sununu's support comes after a heated discussion with ABC's "This Week" co-anchor George Stephanopoulos. The Governor defended his stance, stating that his support is for the party ticket, not Trump himself. He also pointed out that 51% of Americans support Trump.

This shift in position is particularly noteworthy considering Sununu's previous criticisms of Trump. In August 2023, he warned in a New York Times op-ed that the GOP would lose if Trump were nominated. He also criticized Trump's influence on the party, attributing recent losses to the "Trump brand."

However, a January 2024 poll showed Trump leading in New Hampshire, with Haley trailing by 14 points. This could have influenced Sununu's decision to support Trump.

Sununu's support for Trump underscores the complex dynamics within the Republican party and the enduring influence of the former president. It remains to be seen how this will impact the upcoming elections and the future of the GOP.
