New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) took former President Trump to task on Sunday, dismissing Trump’s claim that he’s “entitled” to launch personal attacks against Vice President Harris. On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sununu made it clear that Trump’s strategy of derogatory remarks won’t cut it against Harris and might even backfire.
Sununu argued that Trump faces a steeper challenge defeating Harris than President Biden due to Harris’s strong backing from female voters. He pointed out that Harris has effectively mobilized this demographic, suggesting that Trump’s outdated tactics of personal attacks are misplaced.
“Because, you know, she was able to kind of establish this resurgence, and her team has done a very good job of kind of avoiding the issues, trying to make people believe that she hasn’t been there for four years. And they’ve done a very good job of that at the same time, kind of capitalizing on Trump’s reaction,” he said.
In a fiery rebuttal to Trump’s recent press conference, where Trump asserted he’s “entitled” to insult Harris, Sununu fired back saying, “They knew that the former president can be a very reactionary person, and I saw that clip that you just played, Trump can say, ‘Look, I’m entitled to personal attacks.’ Nobody cares what you’re entitled to. Do what you have to do to get the votes and win,” Sununu said.

“This is an election. It’s about delivering those votes, talking to those independent voters, especially those moms, those suburban females, that typically wouldn’t have come out strong for Biden. You got to get them back on the team,” he added.
Sununu said that Trump’s path to victory lies in addressing economic concerns and presenting a compelling vision for the future, not in engaging in personal slurs.
“If he sticks to what matters, he sticks to what made this country great, he can be very successful in November,” he said.
