Former President Donald Trump has indicated he might support former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu in a potential 2026 Senate bid. Trump revealed that he recently met with Sununu, a Republican who has been critical of him in the past.
"I had a great meeting with Chris Sununu today," Trump posted on his social media platform. "I hope he runs for the United States Senate in New Hampshire in 2026. He would be a great Senator, and I am all for it."
Sununu, who opted not to run for reelection as governor in 2022, has not publicly stated whether he intends to run for Senate. A run would pit him against the Democratic incumbent senator from New Hampshire. Trump's potential endorsement could be a significant boost for Sununu, despite their past disagreements. The New Hampshire Senate race is expected to be closely watched in 2026.
