Sununu Urges Christie to Drop Out of Presidential Race
New Hampshire Governor Believes Christie's Campaign Benefits Trump, Endorses Nikki Haley
- New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has urged Chris Christie to drop out of the Republican presidential race, stating his campaign is 'at an absolute dead end'.
- Sununu believes Christie's continued presence in the race only benefits Donald Trump, as Christie's anti-Trump voters would likely support Nikki Haley if Christie were to drop out.
- Sununu has endorsed Nikki Haley, who is currently polling second in New Hampshire, trailing Trump by an average of 20 percentage points.
- Christie, who is currently polling third in New Hampshire, has positioned himself as the main Trump critic in the race and has rejected calls to drop out.
- Sununu's comments came in response to Christie's criticism of Haley over a recent gaffe involving the Civil War, which Haley has since clarified.
