""Maybe you're surprised to hear that I'm running for the Senate again. I'm a bit surprised myself,""
""Why would anyone subject themselves to everything going on there right now? Well, somebody has to step up and lower the temperature. Somebody has to get things done.""
""National Republicans consider Sununu a strong candidate and one that allows them to go on the offensive as they look to hold their majority in the chamber next year. Senate Republicans, who hold a 53-47 advantage, are defending seats in Ohio, Maine and North Carolina against a slate of high-profile Democratic candidates. But Republicans are also on the offensive in places like Michigan, Georgia and now, increasingly, New Hampshire - and if they flip one of those seats it will likely put the chamber out of reach for Democrats until at least 2028.""
""Sununu must first win the primary though, and his past opposition to President Donald Trump could be problematic. While Brown has aligned himself closely with Trump and served as his U.S. ambassador to New Zealand, Sununu backed Nikki Haley in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, writing an op-ed calling Trump a \"loser.\"""
John E. Sununu, 61, announced a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, seeking the Republican nomination. His entry creates a primary that includes former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown. National Republicans view Sununu as a strong candidate who could help the GOP go on the offensive to protect a 53-47 Senate majority. Republicans are defending several seats while targeting pickups in Michigan, Georgia and New Hampshire. Sununu faces a primary hurdle and scrutiny for past opposition to Donald Trump, including backing Nikki Haley and calling Trump a "loser," while Brown has aligned closely with Trump.
