On Sunday, The New Hampshire Journal<\/a> reported that President Trump endorsed former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu in the New Hampshire Senate race. Scott Brown is also running as a Republican for the seat. Scott Brown narrowly lost to Senator Jeanne Shaheen in 2014. Scott Brown was elected as the U.S. Senator from Massachusetts in 2010 to fill the vacancy created by the death of Ted Kennedy. Generally speaking, the conservative base elected him. He did not vote as a conservative and was defeated in 2012 by Elizabeth Warren. I am honestly not sure if he claims to be a conservative or is running as one. I would consider him a basic middle of the road Republican (borderline RINO). John Sununu has the backing of the Republican establishment, but I am not sure if that is any better.<\/p>\n

The article in The New Hampshire Journal reports:<\/p>\n

During the 2024 campaign, former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu wrote an editorial<\/a> calling President Donald Trump a loser.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, that \u201closer\u201d is endorsing Sununu in the 2026 GOP U.S. Senate primary. And he\u2019s picking him over his own former ambassador to New Zealand, former U.S. Senator Scott Brown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, John E. Sununu, who is running to represent the beautiful State of New Hampshire in the U.S. Senate,\u201d Trump posted on social media Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJohn E. Sununu has my Complete and Total Endorsement \u2014 HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN \u2014 ELECT JOHN E. SUNUNU!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sununu is running to fill the vacancy created when U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen announced she\u2019s not running again in 2026. Shaheen defeated Sununu to take the seat back in 2008.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaheen narrowly avoided losing the 2014 race to Brown, but it\u2019s Sununu who\u2019s gotten the backing of most of the GOP establishment in this primary, including the National Republican Senatorial Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Sununu\u2019s deep roots and passion for the Granite State make him built to win,\u201d NRSC chair Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said in October.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A NHJournal\/Praecones Analytica<\/a> poll taken the last week of December showed Sununu is the stronger candidate to take on U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas, the Democrats\u2019 likely nominee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pappas held just a 42-36 percent lead over Sununu in a head-to-head matchup, while he had a 46-28 advantage over Brown. In both cases, Pappas was under 50 percent, and about a quarter of voters say they\u2019re undecided.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing I like about President Trump is that he is willing to allow people who did not support him to change their mind. Think of J.D. Vance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
