Former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who was a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, seems to have reconciled with the former president. Trump recently announced his full support for Sununu if he decides to run for the Senate in 2026. Sununu, who completed four two-year terms as governor earlier this year, has expressed interest in a Senate bid. Despite their rocky past, Trump and Sununu recently met at the White House, where Trump voiced his support for Sununu’s potential Senate run.
Sununu previously supported Trump but distanced himself after the 2020 election due to disagreements over the election results. Sununu has considered running for higher office in the past but ultimately decided against it. However, recent statements indicate that he may be considering a Senate run more seriously this time.
While Sununu is seen as the most favorable Republican candidate for the Senate seat currently held by a Democrat, former Senator Scott Brown is also considering a run. The race for the Democratic Senate nomination includes four-term Rep. Chris Pappas and potentially Rep. Maggie Goodlander. With the possibility of a competitive Senate race in New Hampshire in 2026, political tensions and alliances are evolving in the state.
