Last month, New Hampshire’s Gov. Chris Sununu, the Republican best positioned to challenge Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan, said he is not getting in the race.

The same pattern holds in Vermont, where Gov. Phil Scott, the best GOP candidate in a blue state, shows no interest in running for Senate even though Sen. Pat Leahy (D) is retiring.

And it is also true in Arizona, where Gov. Doug Ducey, the Republican with the best political record in the state, has ruled himself out of running against Sen. Mark Kelly (D).
