Overview
- Senate GOP allies, including the NRSC and the Senate Leadership Fund, hailed the endorsement, with SLF saying it effectively ends the primary.
- Sununu holds clear advantages over Scott Brown in recent public polling and fundraising, with the GOP primary scheduled for September.
- Brown said he will continue his campaign and argued voters should decide, emphasizing his own America First credentials.
- Democrats quickly attacked Sununu’s record as too corporate, and DSCC and state Democrats framed the general election against Rep. Chris Pappas as competitive.
- The endorsement reflects a reconciliation after Sununu’s 2024 criticism of Trump, as Republicans target the open seat created by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s retirement.
