New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu said he will not seek reelection in 2024. He had considered but decided against runs for president and the U.S. Senate.
Sununu has said he will endorse the GOP’s ultimate nominee in 2024, but argued in an op-ed that Republican must embrace a “course correction” away from Trump., dealing a major blow to Republicans who had hoped he could defeat Democratic incumbent Maggie Hassan and help them retake the chamber in the 2022 midterm elections.
Sununu, who won reelection in 2020 by more than 30 percentage points, said he could have a bigger and more direct impact as governor than as a senator. In a nod to the slow speed of politics in Washington, he said he didn’t want to spend the next six years “sitting around having meeting after meeting, waiting for votes to maybe happen.”
Sununu, whose father was governor from 1983 to 1989 and later served as White House chief of staff under President George H.W. Bush, was the youngest top executive in the country when he took office in 2017 at age 42. The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
