Chris Sununu still believes the GOP is bigger than Donald Trump

Chris Sununu, outgoing Republican governor of New Hampshire, believes the GOP is bigger than Trump and his political movement. He credits the party’s success to its diverse constituencies and his administration’s efforts to address the opioid epidemic. He supports border security and immigration reform, but is skeptical of Trump’s plans for large-scale deportations. He opposes legalizing recreational marijuana and believes the abortion issue is losing salience. Sununu sees room for criticism of Trump within the Republican Party and predicts a contested primary in 2028. He plans to return to the private sector and engage in media and content creation. He supports Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s plans for a “Department of Government Efficiency” and favors permanent daylight saving time.
