GOV. CHRIS SUNUNU: Yes, so that’s where I’ll really challenge you. Look, the next generation of Republicans, right, if you look at the polls from about 45 and under, when you look at their priorities, you know, banning abortion is not one of their priorities. It’s not. You know, they care about all these other kind of things in a conservative, fiscally conservative way. They want kind of that new generation of Republican to step up. It’s not kind of the old school way. And so kind of talking about those issues that are important to them, not just us and how we’re traditional. If we stay in our traditional lanes, we’re going to lose. There’s no doubt about it. So whether it’s me or another candidate that really connects with folks, that kind of inspires that next generation of Republican to get into that voting booth, that’s what’s going to be successful.

CHUCK TODD: Do you think at this point, considering the chaos of the states and the confusion on abortion access, that the federal government needs to come up with a minimum access number, a floor for abortion access?

GOV. CHRIS SUNUNU: Look, every time Republicans start talking about abortion, we’re losing. We are. Because it is a states’ issue. That’s effectively what Dobbs has allowed to happen.
