New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu endorses Nikki Haley for president

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) has endorsed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for president.

"To go and get endorsed by the live free or die governor is about as rock solid of an endorsement as we could hope for," Haley declared while standing with Sununu at an event.

"I AM enthusiastically endorsing Nikki Haley for president of the United States, and I am asking New Hampshire voters to join me in being a part of this movement. We must support the best conservative candidate in this race who can win in November 2024 to deliver results in 2025," Sununu wrote in an op-ed.

"I consider Governors Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie friends, and I believe they would both make strong presidents. But in 2024, Republicans must unite around the candidate that has the best chance at defeating Donald Trump in the primary so that we can get back to winning up and down the ballot," he wrote.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president last month.

The New Hampshire GOP presidential primary will be held on January 23, while the Iowa GOP caucus will take place on January 15.

Former President Donald Trump has been maintaining a decisive lead over the GOP presidential primary field, according to polls.

Last week, DeSantis, Haley, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and author and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy participated in the fourth GOP presidential primary debate. Trump, who has not attended any of the debates, offered his thoughts in a post on Truth Social, writing, "Vivek WINS because he thinks I'm great." Trump also continued referring to Haley as "Birdbrain." Haley served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during a portion of Trump's White House tenure.
